An Oculus Rift Development Kit 2 headset

The Oculus Rift DK2 is a VR headset from Oculus. It is meant to be used with a desktop or laptop computer. It works with Windows, Linux, and Mac. It has a flat focus. Its design is a refinement of the Oculus Rift DK1. It is a more basic headset compared to the Oculus Rift CV1. It has higher resolution than the DK1.

It has larger lenses than the DK1. The lenses are made of polymer.

It uses a Galaxy Note 3 screen.[1]

The DK2 has the same facial interface as the DK1, meaning it is the same shape on the user's face.

The DK2 has support for basic P 'n O tracking using constellation or just its built in IMU.

It has an IPD of 63.5mm.[2][3]

The Oculus Rift DK2 design files are open source at Github.
