Oculus Rift: Available for pre-order

Unlike a lot of people, I don't think $600 is an insane price to pay for a good piece of good VR kit... The insane part is the fact that they don't even list basic technical specs on the marketing site?! Am I missing something obvious? I'm supposed to drop $600 on a piece of hardware that relies on a high-resolution screen to work well, without knowing the screen's resolution? They know they're selling mostly to nerds at first, right?

They give you a validation tool and link to the documentation where they spell out the specs explicitly.

As I said, I don't see a documentation link with specs anywhere, can you link us to it? Are you talking about this docs site: https://developer.oculus.com/documentation ? Because I don't see any hardware specs on there either. Are you saying I have to run the validation tool (.exe) to get it?

Parent is looking for the technical specs of the rift itself, not the pc specs required to power the rift. As far as I'm aware, those specs are not available.

He means the hardware specs of the VR Kit... not the requirements for the computer
