Valve, Oculus VR tease what consumer VR will be in 2015

We've learnt quite a lot from Valve's developer-only Steam Dev Days conference, with VR being the focus of the second, and last day of the event. Oculus VR's founder, Palmer Luckey, was a key guest for its VR discussions, where he teased the future of VR.

Luckey said: "Valve's VR tech is the best virtual reality demo in the world right now". This is quite a statement from Luckey, considering his company just received $75 million in Series B funding for Oculus Rift. The specifications of what Valve and Oculus expect from a consumer VR headset for 2015 are very, very promising:

Feasible 2015 consumer HDM

• 20ms motion-to-last-photon latency
• 3ms pixel persistence
• 95 Hz refresh
• 110-degree FOV
• 1K x 1K resolution per eye
• High-quality, well-calibrated optics

Tracking

• millimeter-accurate resolution translation
• quarter-degree-accurate rotation
