E3 (the Electronic entertainment Expo) since its inception in 1995, has become the world's largest, the industry's most high-profile interactive entertainment show, but also the annual global game feast. This year's E3 is also held in Los Angeles, where the star-studded Hollywood is in the United States. In addition to Microsoft's Xbox One, Sony's PS4, Nintendo's Wii,ea, and big companies like Ubisoft, we were pleasantly surprised to discover that some start-up companies have brought a new and shocking gaming experience to gamers at the 3-day E3 game show from June 11, 2013 to 13th. Among them, the top of the Oculus Rift.

June 2013 E3 Hall, Los Angeles, USA

September 2012, Oculus with a design of a novel head-wearing display equipment in the demo video from the United States well-known public network Kickstarter raised 2.437 million U.S. dollars, began to produce Oculus Rift prototype for developers. In June 2013, Oculus again received 16 million dollars in a round of risk financing to accelerate the development of its Oculus Rift prototype and the introduction of a consumer version of the product.

Oculus Independent showroom door is Oculus sign: "One Eye" logo+ "Love virtual reality" slogan

After entering Oculus's independent showroom, Oculus founder and CEO Brendan Iribe invited us to experience 720P Standard Edition and 1080P HD edition Oculus Rift. Clearly, the HD version has a qualitative leap in resolution, clarity, and overall experience compared to the standard version. The current version of Oculus Rift is for developers only, and the Oculus Rift consumer version, which is expected to be launched around next year, will not only use the HD version, but will also incorporate more features.

The TV screen on the wall synchronously displays the visual effects of Oculus Rift

Oculus Rift deserves to be hailed as a revolutionary virtual reality (VR) representative. When Brendan gave me first to wear the standard version of the Oculus Rift, all Shing, but so true. Holding the handle of the hand, I "exposure" in the snow Mountain bad around, snowflakes flying outside the castle walking. Suddenly, carelessly, turn the wrong way, crashed into the wall, my heart also followed a shake, scared straight cold sweat. Through the game handle, I finished some similar ordinary game shooting operation, but in the Oculus Rift 3D world, the game feeling is more intense. This real intrusive environment has undoubtedly greatly enhanced the gameplay experience and truly "enters the game world". I can't help feeling, like Oculus Rift this can let the game player in its most love game world "immersive dash and dominate everything" artifact, the player can not for it fever?

Later, Brendan me with the HD version of the Oculus Rift and stereo surround sound headphones. Brendan the scene, put me "in" a movie theater scene, on the screen is playing a preview of the upcoming American comedy movie, I immediately very "real" sitting in the middle of the movie theater, but the cinema is empty, only the red seat, it is a bit spooky, I instinctively wear a helmet around, Hope to find a figure. Interestingly, the 360-degree visual experience that Oculus brings, when you "look around," enhances your "real sense" of virtual reality. Brendan went on to say, imagine you and your friends in different places, wear Oculus Rift, while "sitting in the cinema", watching the same movie, you two can chat in real time, this will be what kind of experience?

Just when I was not doing my best, Brendan and mysteriously took out a small sign with "VIP" and said, "Go, I'll take you to experience a cool game developed using the Oculus Rift platform."

The Eve 3D game developed by CCP using the Unity3d game engine

CCP's game also attracted a lot of foreign media to report

After a brief introduction to the game theme and control handles by Eve game developers, I put on my Oculus Rift and headphones, clutching the Xbox 360 handle and starting my mysterious space trip. After a very short vision adjustment and environmental adaptation, I "entered" the fantastic EVE-VR 3D Star Wars. I "incarnated" as a space ship's pilot, and began to complete the task set. I scanned the surroundings curiously, saw my virtual hands and feet, then "held the lever" and started the ship. By the combination of head and eye movement, I quickly locked the target and then launched the missile through the right button on the XBOX360 handle to shoot down the enemy planes. The whole game control is very natural, "human-machine unity." If you turn your head too far or too many handles, it can cause the ship to lose control.

I found that after each player experience, I could not help but thumbs up and cooing. See Eve game developers in this game to work hard, not only the Unity3d engine the latest technology to play the advantages of the most vividly, the entire scene and objects to create lifelike, while the perfect combination of Oculus Rift bring a unique sense of body, At last, it brings such an extraordinary game experience to gamers.

Although Oculus Rift in the direction of mass production, upgrading the product from the developer prototype to market-oriented consumer electronics is still a long way off, while more developers are needed to develop on the Oculus platform to provide quality gaming content, but the virtual reality artifact has been "emerging" and has been placed high hopes , let us continue to look forward to it!
