It has been speculated that the Oculus Rift consumer version release date would be announced at CES 2015, and if the reports and rumors are to be believed, then the Oculus Rift consumer version release date was revealed at the event.

Cyberland has reported that Oculus CEO, Brendan Iribe has allegedly told the attendants of CES 2015 that they can expect to get their hands at the Oculus Rift this 2015. No other details were revealed as of then. The report also mentions that the Oculus Rift consumer version release date could launch this October 2015 following alleged leaked documents from Oculus VR, though no credible proof has surfaced saying that the information that leaked is real.

Meanwhile, a lot of people got their hands on the Crescent Bay prototype of the Oculus Rift and they were unanimous that the Oculus Rift is amazing:

But what are the specs of the Oculus Rift consumer version? PC Advisor notes:

"The consumer-oriented version of the Oculus Rift is in development and will feature at greater than 1080p low-persistence-of-vision OLED display. We hope to see wireless connectivity, although there is some debate on this point. Expect there to be 7in displays, with 24-bit colour depth."

"That 7in display will use stereoscopic 3D to mimic normal human vision. This means that the left eye sees extra space to the left and the right eye sees more to the right. This gives Oculus Rift a great field of view than previous VR headsets."

"The Oculus Rift for developers weighs 379g. The headset also has a motion-tracking system that uses an external camera which tracks infrared dots located on the headset. The consumer Oculus Rift will include a 1000 Hz Adjacent Reality Tracker. This should reduce to almost nothing the sensation of lag in tracking. Oculus Rift uses a combination of 3-axis gyros, accelerometers, and magnetometers."

"Expect DVI and HDMI inputs. There's also a USB interface for sending tracking data, and a power adapter to connect the control box to a power outlet."

VG 24/7 has also reported on the price of the Oculus Rift Consumer version:

"We want to stay in that $200-$400 price range," OVR co-founder Nate Mitchell said. "That could slide in either direction depending on scale, pre-orders, the components we end up using, business negotiations."

"Whatever it is, it's going to be as cheap as possible," added co-founder Palmer Luckey. "That's really the goal."
