10 Most Expected Wearable Devices in 2016

9. Oculus Rift

 Since its launch in June last year, the consumer version of the much-anticipated Oculus Rift, developed by Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB), will finally be out on the market within the first quarter of 2016. It’s currently available on pre-order from the Oculus website – all of which will include a free copy of EVE: Valkyrie. The Oculus Rift will come with an XBOX One controller and Windows 10 support. Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB)’s last results have been strong and Oculus is a nice side project for the company, which might one day become as successful as its other recent acquisitions like WhatsApp or Instagram.

The new consumer version of the Oculus Rift will be significantly lighter than the earlier-released Oculus Rift developer kits and will feature two OLED Screens. Rift owners can expect zero blurs and pixels visible due to its low latency. Its more ergonomically superior design also features fabric-coating that makes it easier and more comfortable to wear.

One of the most important features of the new Oculus Rift is the adjustable Interpupillary Distance (IPD) of its optics. Because not everyone has the same distance between both eyes, making this feature possible ensures that everybody can adjust the Rift’s lens distance to suit their personal needs. The new Rift also allows the user to wear eyeglasses underneath it to accommodate everybody.

Several game outfits are set to launch VR versions this year making it all the more an exciting year for Oculus Rift users.
