SDK 1.0 coming this year for Oculus Rift, mobile

A select few individuals will also get to experience the sensation of virtual reality.

Samsung’s Gear VR virtual reality headset has been around for a while now, and you’ve been able to buy one since late in 2014.

The launch marks an inflection point for the nascent VR industry. Think of it like an Apple announcement extravaganza, but for stuff that sits on your face and shows you the future. Others warn those figures may be overly optimistic. Which is considerably less than the previous Gear VR. Past year Oculus streamed the keynotes on Twitch and will be doing the same for 2015.

“VR is the next platform where anyone can create and experience anything”, said Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, speaking at the event. This should make it much more comfortable to wear.

Though numerous facts have yet to be confirmed, the notion of simultaneously streaming and playing content is evidently becoming more popular as the technology grows.

Giving it a jumpstart are classic titles from previously established gaming leaders, including Sega, Midway and Bandai Namco.

A short while ago we wrote about the fancy Marriott hotel chain offering VR headsets to their guests and we blasted the effort. Both the Oculus Rift and the HTC Vive are expected to hit the consumer market in Q1 2016, with the Vive seeing an earlier launch in limited numbers this December.

Oculus Rift games are going to be the main driver behind sales of the virtual reality headset, and one of those games likely be the ever-popular “Minecraft for Windows 10″. Samsung plans to have these on sale in November 2015 and only costing you a cool $99.
