It's been a long time coming, but 2016 seems to be the year when virtual reality finally becomes an actual reality. How does it work? Well, here are the specs:

Two 1080p AMOLED displays with a combined resolution of 2160 x 1200

90 Hz refresh rate

Built-in front-facing camera and microphone

Accelerometer, gyroscope, and laser position sensor

360-degree headset tracking via Lighthouse IR emitters

110º horizontal field of view

This all compares pretty favorably—or in some cases, identically—with the Oculus Rift CV1 we tore down a few weeks ago.
