INTRODUCTION
MOTIVATION
Virtual reality has been hyped as the next big thing for decades—and yet, it never seems to deliver. Despite the potential, particularly in the world of gaming, numerous attempts have left players dizzy with disappointment. So why should you believe us when we say that this is the year? Two words: Oculus Rift. Google’s response to oculus rift is this: Do it yourself “OCULUS THRIFT”
