Rift also known as Oculus Rift CV1 or Consumer Version 1 is the 1st version of Oculus Rift Virtual Reality HMD created for consumers. Rift is scheduled to be released in Q1 2016. Unlike its predecessors, DK1 and DK2, Rift's target demographic moves beyond developers and serious VR enthusiasts to include people with only casual interest in VR.

Hardware
HMD design and Interfaces:
The Rift HMD has a sleek and refined design with improved ergonomics. IPD can be adjusted physically through the slider on the bottom, right side of HMD. Like previous editions, Rift supports eye-relief adjustments, allowing users to increase or decrease the distance between their eyes and lenses. Additionally, Rift will ship ship with multiple facial interfaces with different interior faceplates to accommodate various facial features and users with glasses. The faceplates are interchangeable.
Tracking:
The tracking system employed by Rift is named Constellation tracking. It is an improved version from DK2 and Crescent Bay. While rotational tracking is achieved with IMUs, positional tracking is accomplish with an external camera sensor (outside-in tracking). Tiny LED markers are placed on the HMD, the camera sensor is able to recognize these markers and track the position of the HMD. Oculus has promised for both seated and standing VR experiences.
External camera sensor:
External camera sensor is not only able to track the headset but also Oculus Touch. Brandon Iribe has mentioned that other hardware manufactures can cover their own devices with the LED markers so they can be tracked too.
Voice and Audio:
Rift will have a microphone and built-in headphones. Users can replace the headphones with their own audio devices.
