The Oculus Rift was a paradigm shift in virtual reality platforms. Its stunning graphics, ease of set up, and hardware-software integration changed the game for what VR could become. The design of the Rift headset took a unique approach. Forgoing a rigid plastic housing, the device implemented a fabric wall construction, redefining the aesthetic of tech, while allowing the headset to be more breathable and lightweight.

An incredible roster of engineering, software, and product design talent came together to produce the Oculus Rift. We contributed design support on all the soft elements of the device, most notably the fabric walls of the headset alongside a handful of other design features.
