Virtual reality headsets seem to be the next big thing in gaming, and spearheading this technology is the much-awaited Oculus Rift. If you wanted to know what makes the Oculus Rift headset tick, the guys at iFixit have released its teardown of the device, saying that they were impressed. The headset got a score of 9 out of 10 for repairability and "can be taken apart in less than 10 minutes".It is worth noting, however, that the version of the Oculus Rift that was taken apart is the developer version which was sent out to backers of the Kickstarter campaign. Whether or not the consumer version will be this easy to take apart and repair will only be known once the headset has been launched for the public.So far, everyone who has had hands-on time with the Oculus Rift at events such as PAX or GDC has been mightily impressed by the headset. It will be interesting to see how the developers handled the latency issues that are associated with virtual reality gaming headsets.
