Palmer Lucky, co-CEO of Oculus VR, has re-stated partner Brendan Iribe’s comments (Consumers Will Get Hands (and Eyes) on Oculus This Year) that the consumer version of the Oculus Rift will be launched this autumn or winter. However, there are rumours that the release might come earlier to compete with Microsoft’s Hololens augmented reality headset, which is set to be launched this year (Microsoft Shows Off HoloLens Augmented Reality System).
