Oculus Rift DK2 VR Headset Review

A Closer Look

Worried about setting up the Oculus Rift? Don’t be, there is a simple step-by-step guide included in the box. As well as a good quality microfiber cloth to help keep the lenses clean.

A USB to mini-USB cable with gold-plated connections, this is used to hook up the camera to your PC.

A special sync cable, this hooks the camera to the HDMI cable/headset.

The camera is nicely designed and fairly compact.

There is a hinge on the bottom that allows it to fold out and clamp to the top of your monitor.

The underside features a standard camera tripod mount, perfect for those who need a little extra flexibility in their setup.

I’ve left the plastic on the lenses for the photographs, wouldn’t want to scuff them up prior to my first use!

There are two sets of lenses included, the A-type and the B-type. The A-type are much deeper fittings and the B-type are shallow. It’s advised you try both to see which is more comfortable for you.

One very cool thing is that the headset comes with a universal adaptor set, great news for those who plan on taking their DK2 around the world. There is also a DVI to HDMI adaptor.
