Last week, I was at the Hacker Dojo participated in a virtual reality developer in Silicon Valley party. This is an informal event, participants can register online and pay the $ 5 donation entry; can accommodate hundreds of people packed inside the House, some of the applicants could not even approach.
Many Silicon Valley developers in related fields have brought their products to the site. They have developed a virtual reality display hardware, such as the recently released Morpheus Sony and launched Android-based 2.5K resolution of virtual reality helmets GameFace Labs; film and data acquisition hardware, such as 360-degree 3D audio and video recording equipment Jaunt VR and STEM wireless motion tracking device developers Sixense; more developers working on virtual applications, Their computer desktop or small game to the virtual reality platform, with a more lively form.
The Oculus VR recently bought by Facebook to pay $ 2 billion, did not participate in the party, but it is the main actors on the activity: in addition to compete with companies like Sony and GameFace Labs, but all the other developers on site Demo uses Oculus Rift. Application developers do not have to say, they are all computer and Oculus Rift together, let participants take turns to come and experience his work and Jaunt VR and Sixense Oculus Rift such companies need to display their hardware in the production of content or interaction effects. Rough statistics, on-site activities at least 6 sets Oculus Rift.
Until then, virtual reality based on Oculus Rift emerge; in events such as GDC, there are a large number of developers to use it to display the work. But walk into a virtual-reality theme activities, see Oculus Rift appeared so dense, there is a special feeling: it really changed the virtual area developer.
While virtual reality has been talked about for years, is not something new, but in the past remain in the movies or in the science and Technology Museum, primarily in areas such as military, medical, more distant from the lives of ordinary people, while many developers try to apply to virtual reality rendering, but lack of a suitable device, and easy to use development platform.
Oculus Rift to solve these two problems. Although the DK1 (the first generation of development kit) there are various defects, but it is a cheap enough to display tool, developers can get it using relatively low-cost and easily test their results. The other hand, Oculus began shipping SDK was released soon after, and then continue to improve, allowing developers to easily develop applications based on it.
Up to now, the Oculus Rift DK1 has shipped more than 60000. If it is a consumer product, this number is not very big, but for the developer version, this is already a considerable size; even some of them fall into the player's hand, there will be developers purchasing multiple units, but believe that getting the developer still has tens of thousands of, there are more developers to the DK2 waiting. Prior to that, where there has never been a virtual reality display equipment will have the support of so many developers.
In fact, I attended the monthly meeting of the organizers behind the activity, and the "virtual reality in Silicon Valley" were founded last year; soon after, they will also be hosting a virtual reality Expo in Silicon Valley. If there are no Oculus Rift, it is difficult to imagine today would be the size of the Organization and activities.
It can be said that Oculus Rift in the virtual reality field you want to make a difference in games, applications, and hardware developers like Arduino and Makerbot 3D printer to create intelligent hardware and entrepreneurs--it slashed the developer to enter the threshold of a new field, and then creating a new ecosystem.

"It will give 6 iPad charging at full speed, I still 5 iPad." 2A charging equipment will be more and more, if you already have more than one such device at home, while the pursuit of efficiency and convenience, this 6 monster really worth considering. For me, now there are 4 full speed USB is very happy.
