The Oculus Rift S Review: Is It Worth the Investment?

When Oculus first started out as a company, three years before debuting the Oculus Rift S, founder Palmer Lucky had a vision that virtual reality (VR) was headed for integrated mainstream fame. To that end, he Kickstarted the Oculus Rift, one of the first head-mounted displays for VR. His production company Oculus would later make head-mounted displays (HMDs) for Samsung (the Samsung Gear), but the Oculus Rift was smartphone agnostic, which meant that it could run without a smartphone slotted into the headgear.
The Oculus Rift S is next in line for the VR headset crown, coming along the heels of two other stellar Oculus products, the Oculus Go and the Oculus Quest. Both the Go and the Quest debuted to great critical acclaim, but many were waiting for the Oculus Rift S to surpass these as the next great achievement in VR.

They may have to wait a bit longer. The Oculus Rift S is a major improvement on some levels, but still has some disappointing limitations that keep it from sitting on the throne too long.
