My Full Oculus Rift Review
INTRO
Evenly stacked up against its immediate competitor, the HTC VIVE, the Oculus has way more recognition and is widely considered to be the best VR headset you could own. I think this is the result of some very strong and persistent marketing on the part of Oculus, but it’s also smaller, has less wires and is generally easier to operate than the VIVE.
PREREQUISITE TECHNOLOGY
- As if the Oculus Rift wasn’t already expensive, you should know that it needs a relatively powerful computer for it to live up to its potential. Here are the PC specs (Oculus does not support Macs):
- If you’re not sure whether or not your PC can support an Oculus Rift, here’s a handy little program that can do it for you. This is the official Oculus Rift PC Compatibility Check program: Check My PC.
Video Card: NVIDIA GTX 970/AMD Radeon R9 290 equivalent or greater
CPU: Intel i5-4590 equivalent or greater
Memory: 8GB + RAM
Compatible HDMI 1.3 video output
USB Ports 3x USB 3.0 ports plus 1x USB 2.0 port
OS Windows 7 SP1 64 bit or newer
HOW TO USE
- The Oculus Rift is really easy to set up. Unlike the VIVE, you don’t need to dedicate a huge area for tracking purposes and all you really need is some desk space for the sensor.
- This is the Oculus setup. Once you’ve downloaded and installed this file, it’ll pretty much do most of the setup for you. All you have to do is plug in a few cables, which the setup program will prompt you to do, in fact.
Once you’ve plugged in all the cables (1 HDMI and 2 USB), you position the sensor (with the help of the setup program), connect the controller(s) and you’re done.
HOW TO WATCH PORN
Even though the number of people who use VR headsets like the Oculus Rift for the expressed intention of watching porn is probably in the tens of thousands by now, if not more, Oculus, or any other device, does not support porn. But there are workarounds that are real easy to do.
- Download a compatible VR video player.Whirligig is a great choice.
- Then download a VR file that’s meant for the VIVE. I would not use the VIVE for streaming, though you could.
- Launch your scene through the VR player and you’re ready to roll.
Nearly every VR porn site I’ve seen to date has extensive support for the Oculus. If all else fails, that’s where you can find more help:

- I said it before and I’ll say it again, if you’re looking to immerse your senses in some hot virtual reality porn then you got to go with the Oculus Rift.
- It’s lighter than the VIVE, easier to use and has less wires.
- They’re planning on releasing a wireless model next year.
- The one major advantage the VIVE has over the Rift, namely better controllers, is now moot thanks to the recent release of the Touch (pictured below). These will come in handy when playing 3D sex games.
