Facebook's latest PC-powered VR headset is the enhanced Oculus Rift S
Facebook has unveiled the Oculus Rift S, a replacement for its existing Rift virtual reality PC headset, featuring a number of notable changes to the older model, including a higher-resolution screen.
Like its predecessor, the Rift S is powered by a PC, meaning that it should support all games and apps that the current Rift does, on both the Oculus Store and Steam. Where it diverges, however, is in its various tech features. There's a new 80Hz 2560×1440 single LCD panel screen, for instance, higher than the original Rift's 90Hz duel OLED resolution of 2160x1200, but lower than the all-in-one Oculus Quest.
That's viewed through "next generation" lens technology similar to Oculus Go and Quest, helping to eliminate the current Rift's distracting "god rays". According to RoadtoVR, Facebook says the S' field-of-view is "slightly larger" than the original Rift.
