Introduction

The Oculus Rift S is a Discrete HMD built by Oculus VR in partnership with Lenovo to improve design and speed up manufacturing. The new design included a halo headband and fit wheel, room-scale tracking with no external sensors (which were required for the Rift), and a higher resolution compared to the Rift.[1]

The Rift S was released at the same time as Oculus Quest. Their similarities were plentiful[1]:

  • launch price point ($399)
  • inside-out tracking: Oculus Insight
  • Oculus Touch controllers
  • integrated audio system
  • shared gaming library

While they came with many of the same features, they differed in one significant way: the Rift S required a PC connection, the Quest did not. The main thing to consider when purchasing Rift S was whether you had a computer that met the recommended specs for game play and/or you wanted to/could afford to purchase a gaming computer.[1]

Other differences between Rift S and Quest included: Passthrough support and sensors. The Rift S had an enhanced version of Passthrough - Passthrough+ which supported Asynchronous Spacewarp (ASW).[2] The Rift S also had a fifth sensor to support this enhanced Passthrough experience.[1]

Oculus Rift S was released on May 21, 2019 for $399. Two games were released exclusively for Rift S: Asgard's Wrath and Stormland.[3]

Hardware

Oculus Rift S came with a HMD, two Touch controllers + AA batteries, optical cable for connecting the headset to PC, and a video output adapter.

Unlike the Rift, the Rift S did not come with adjustable, IPD mechanics; you could adjust some of the settings through the software, but could not adjust the center of the lenses.[1][4]
