Half-Life 2 Mod Now Supports Oculus Rift: Virtual Reality Head and Gun Tracking

Nathan Andrews, a mod developer created the first Half-Life 2 mod that adds support for the Oculus Rift

The Oculus Rift is a virtual reality headset that allows you to basically “be in the game” – if you’ve never heard of it, get the full details here

Oculus Rift SDK’s will ship later this year, as early as March 2013 – that’s when we expect more games will support it.

The Oculus Rift will also be for sale later this year after initial tests. Hopefully, they will be able to fix the latency problems and various other problems of the headsets. By now, they have found a way to make it more comfortable for those wearing glasses and they’re making a lot of progress on integrating the Rift into the Unity and Unreal Engine 3. Demo below:

The future is now!
