What is the Oculus Rift?

The Oculus Rift is a virtual reality headset designed to be connected to a high-powered gaming computer.
The headset uses gaze tracking and LED sensors to track the user's position so they can move freely within the virtual environment.
Most experiences for the Oculus Rift are designed to be immersive and interactive.
