- Oculus Founder Palmer Luckey dropped on us the minimum price for their VR device during an interview at Connect where he was asked if Oculus Rift price would come in around that $350 ballpark target that had been discussed by the company long ago, he said:
"You know, I’m going to be perfectly honest with you. We’re roughly in that ballpark… but it’s going to cost more than that. And the reason for that is that we’ve added a lot of technology to this thing beyond what existed in the DK1 and DK2 days."
- high price seems to be the result of prioritizing "quality of experience" over affordability according to Luckey
- Luckey says:
"It would really suck if you put something out there and people were like ‘ah man… the Rift is good, but it’s not quite there’, you know? ‘If only it was a little better, if the lenses were a little better, if the resolution was a little better, if the screens had been a little bit better, then it would be great because you’d you’d say ‘god, we could have just charged a little more and put a little bit more money into custom hardware and actually achieve that’.
