Скачать или смотреть New VR developments from Oculus stoke anticipation for Touch controllers

Facebook-owned VR company Oculus seeks to stir up excitement ahead of the upcoming release of its new Touch controllers. Today, it announced an additional bundled title, a game-changing development in graphics rendering and developer tools that hint at a more social future for VR.

The new title Oculus First Contact will be bundled with Touch controllers. These hand-circling joysticks pair with Oculus Rift so you can use your hands in virtual reality. They may call for an adjustment period, so First Contact is an entertaining orientation to all the interactions made possible by Touch. It joins other Touch-bundled titles Dead and Buried, The Unspoken, and VR Sports Challenge.

Additionally, a technology called Asynchronous Spacewarp (ASW) is included in today's Oculus software update. ASW is a graphics rendering technique that is efficient enough to dramatically lower the minimum specs for gaming PCs that power the Rift experience. This should be welcome news to anyone interested in copping an Oculus Rift but has been turned off by the high cumulative price tag.
