Oculus had surprised everyone by successfully funding its project on the Kickstarter platform in just a few days. The system is certainly ambitious: a virtual reality headset designed to provide total immersion in digital worlds.
Recently acquired by Facebook, the company is now sharing details about its success, although for the time being this is limited to development kit orders from publishers and independent developers.
Oculus says it has already sold 25,000 units of its version 2.0 kit, which has been available for preorder since March 19 (deliveries will not begin until July). This brings the current number of kits distributed worldwide to more than 85,000.
The second-generation virtual reality headset is sold for $350 and features an OLED display with a resolution of 960 x 1080 pixels for each eye. It also tracks the user's head position using an external camera.
With Facebook acquiring the company for $2 billion, it can be assumed that the headset has captured the attention of major companies, as well as players who are now eagerly awaiting the accessory.
