-Polygon's Hands On (http://www.polygon.com/2014/1/8/5286696/oculus-rift-crystal-cove-position-tracking-ces-hands-on)
Highlights:
-The new prototype is called "Crystal Cove" and has positional tracking and an OLED screen.
-Positional tracking is accomplished with an external camera and multiple LED dots on the Rift. This is all to be included with the Rift (not a separate purchase).
-Simulator sickness has been solved using low persistence, a method that eliminates motion blur by only flashing the image for a millisecond when it is correct. It is similar technology to LightBoost, etc.
-Oculus won't release the details of the OLED screen as it is subject to change, but they say this particular screen gets down the latency, motion blur, judder, etc.
-Still no release date or DK2 info.
-iBuyPower mentioned they have a Steam Machine that is meant to be paired to the Oculus Rift, but they weren't able to get the demo up in time for their reveal at Steam's event.
-EVE:Valkyrie confirmed as a launch title.
