Penny Arcade Expo (PAX Prime) is happening this week, and Oculus will be there to show of its wares to the masses. For the first time since revealing the final design of the Rift, the company will be letting the general public try out its forthcoming virtual reality headset. Thus far, the only public trials of Oculus’s product have been with the Rift DK2 in unofficial capacities. Only members of the press (and industry insiders) have had the privilege to try out the VR headset in its final form.
This weekend at PAX, Oculus will be holding continuous demo sessions throughout the event, but you will have to schedule your slot in order to try it out. To do so, download the Oculus Live application to your mobile device. Once inside the app, select “Rift Demo” from the menu, and you’ll be met with a calendar of time slots. Oculus has a generous number of spaces available, with 10 slots per half hour, but spaces are filling up fast, so don’t delay.
Demos for the Rift will take place at Oculus’s booth at PAX and will start at 10am PT and will run until 6pm PT on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
