At Oculus’ inaugural ‘Connect’ event in Hollywood CA today, CEO Brendan Iribe announced a new feature prototype that Oculus believes delivers VR presence for the first time. The Prototype is called Crescent Bay and although exact specs are not yet available, this is a rough breakdown of the features set:
- Higher Refresh Rate (confirmed as 90Hz)
- Higher resolution (likely 1440p)
- (Possibly) Higher FOV
- Integrated Audio
- 360 Degree Tracking (LEDs now on back of headset too)
- Oculus licensed Real Space 3D Audio Specialisation (10 years in development)
And the attendees at Oculus Connect get to try it today! Ben Lang and the Road to VR team are on the ground ready to get their hands on this new hardware and we’ll bring you impressions as soon as we can.
