Oculus Rift S: Specs and features

Higher resolution – The Rift S works with the Rift platform and gives access to the newest pulse-pounding VR games. Plus, it comes with improved optics that provide a sharper display technology with high pixel density, reduced “screen-door” effect, and bright, vivid colors for an even more immersive gaming experience.

Comfort and Integrated Audio – Built in alliance with Lenovo, the Rift S became a product suited for people who appreciate comfort and desire, improved light blocking, better weight distribution, and a single-cable system for a clutter-free experience. Plus, it also features the same integrated audio system as Oculus Quest and Oculus Go.

Built-in Tracking – This is the state-of-the-art inside-out tracking technology called Oculus Insight which gets you in the game extremely easy. Oculus uses computer vision algorithms and is able to capture, trace, and navigate physical spaces in real time. The headset also features five sensors that help maximize tracking volume in support of the existing Rift library.
