Virtual reality gained momentum among the public as the technology became more accessible, immersive, and user-friendly. One of the most prominent virtual reality companies includes Oculus Rift, which makes VR gear with advanced graphics and a life-like display system. The virtual reality headsets from Oculus Rift are not only popular with gaming, but also academics, military, and healthcare training. Additionally, Oculus Rift can be used as a therapy tool to help people confront their phobias, such as social anxiety, before dealing with them in real life.

Oculus Rift paved the way for the modern VR market, a key aspect of radical innovation. Oculus Rift was the first to create a world completely submerging the user in augmented reality. Before, Google Street View, 3D monochrome video by Nintendo, and VR pods were popular in the virtual reality industry. However, the technology was not as immersive, with the Nintendo VR not including color and low-quality visuals, and VR pods were not portable. Oculus changed the VR industry by raising the bar for quality and carrying a major leap in performance. For instance, with “insight” tracking technology, Oculus Rift uses five cameras embedded in the headset to track the movements and location of the user, rather than two or three sensors placed around a room. Also, Oculus meets the needs of the most demanding customers by providing accurate motion tracking, high-resolution displays, and a large array of games, all aiming to create the best experience.

Oculus Rift made great strides in performance compared to their competitors. For example, Oculus Rift contains self-contained and wireless components, easily navigable touch controllers, and comfortable user design. Consumers can also download apps to the onboard storage, making the VR more customizable, and includes a high-resolution display and built-in speakers. Competitors of Oculus lag in resolution and controllers, such as Sony PlayStation VR. Oculus led the way to fundamental changes in VR technology architecture by making user-friendly controllers and adding a portable headset, so people can experience virtual reality anywhere they go.
