Our common reality has been already persuaded to change by the first DK1 then DK2 and it seems that this process will not stop in the beginning of it. Oculus is preparing its new powerful VR headset, advantage of which comparing to the precursors is the ability to submerge all your senses in an overall immersion of a real virtual reality.
Built on the basis of Developer Kit 2, a new prototype Crescent Bay is a transitional stage on the way to the next generation of Rift. And this state of DK2 should prepare us to face the new generation of Rift Developer Kit 3, which will be revealed to us a bit later.
Unlike the progenitors, the Oculus DK 3 will have 360 degrees head tracking, an extended amount of positional tracking and integrated high quality headphones fastened on the frame, which makes the sound be as exciting as the visuals. RealSpace3D audio technology used comes as the combination of HRTF dimensional and complex reverb algorithms, which creates a feeling of actual presence right in your own head. Oculus also said that game engine Unity will be set in a Free and Pro versions.
It is expected that the headset will be quite light, and will not cause swelling of the neck during prolonged usage. The performance of the device will be upgraded as well to finally end up with the annoying slowdown of the graphics, which can cause slight suspension of the picture. Prototype Crescent Bay allows you to operate only in a range of about 3 feet for the moment, but hopefully it will be improved in a retail version.
Now Oculus is open to third-party development, which can become absolutely new path of development making VR platform the most stable in the future. Oculus Rift DK 3 will not be perfect, but it must be better than others. We do not know what improvements are waiting for us and when they come in force, but we hope that they will be worthy and timely.

If you ever thought that Samsung has nothing new in his pocket, then take a look at the new edge of divinity coming together with Note 4 specifications, as “two in one” device. The edge indeed looks like something special, though you can have your own opposite opinion, when read the entire article up to the end.
The Galaxy Note 4 was awaited as a sequel to Samsung’s brand phablet series and should really comply with all of the customer’s hopes, but nevertheless, the company has gone much further adding a premium section inside the Note’s range curving right side of the display for additional customizable functions letting you be unconcerned about the privileges it grants.
From the first sight you can capture yourself thinking about the annoying edge to be a gimmicky feature to attract your attention only. But Samsung has pledged it with a quick access service to speed up your device roaming ability on the 5.6 inches display, which is only 0.1 inches less than Note 4. But be sure that the missing one-tenth of an inch will make your accessibility much easier allowing you to switch instantly to your new messages or notifications even during the movie screening not affecting the whole picture for your eyes impression.
Standing together with Note 4, the Edge will have the same specifications, as 16-megapixel front camera with optical image stabilization function, the Snapdragon 805 processor as the inner power and the amazing QHD AMOLED display that will be fed by the 3200mAh battery source inside.
If you are not using your right hand as the main controller, the only solution you have is to turn the device 180 degrees up, but forgetting to use the center home button as always, making it a little bit defect for every user in the world. Another missed issue is an unavailability to pair it with Virtual Reality gear headset, which Note 4 is capable for.
We have to consider the special device only as a limited product, because the apps for it require special tuning to fit the special physical requirements it bears along. But if you want to be a “special” smartphone holder, then nothing should stop you eventually.
Samsung said that the Galaxy Note Edge smartphone will be available in the US for $400 with a two-year contract or $946 off-contract starting November 14.
