Ah yes, that must be the Nimble VR thing.

That explains the "© 2014" and the old Oculus logo.

Not even relatively. They are bargin binned if you can even find them. Which is why these specs are probably just place holders.
They said that was a "Recommended Spec"
It would be interesting if they are all in on hand tracking, mainly because Valve have the opposite where they don't think hand tracking alone is good enough

Looks great 
But not out this year
Fuck.

Fuck.
Quite so:
vrOS
simple-input-device (remote) and gamepad included
camera on headset
Pretty substantial leak.
Wow. I see that you're right. GamesIndustry.biz has mis-reported Oculus stating it's the minimum specs which has made a slight uproar these last two weeks: http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2015-05-21-oculus-high-pc-specs-are-sonys-chance-to-shine
"Oculus announced the minimum hardware specifications required for the Rift a few days ago, and they are... High. Eye-watering high. An NVIDIA GTX 970; an Intel i5-4590 chip. Oh, and forget about laptops, pretty much."
Valve and Sony walked away with that one if this is just a traditional gamepad bundled.
And Palmer said these are all old placeholder images.
Probably cant take too much confirmation of anything from this, unfortunately. But that makes the presser on Thursday more exciting still!
It's not fake, it's just placeholders.
Headphones are supposedly high quality. And you cant judge strap comfort by an image.
Not fake, just very old: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=167025949&postcount=52

Actually, they correctly reported it as recommended specs here, including what "recommended" means in this case: http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2015-05-15-oculus-rift-specs-announced
And then someone who can't read wrote a column thinking it was the minimum specs

Scroll up. It's placeholder.
Placeholders.
I'm just gonna quote and bold this for visibility (should probably be added to the OP):

At least they didn't just ignore the leak I guess.

They said they are telling devs to target a 970 performance level for the life of the rift, meaning 'Don't make games that need a 980Ti to be playable, assume yout players have something like a 970 for the rift. That doesn't mean the rift will not work for less or there won't be games that are fine with 750s
Quoting for visibility © 2014
Although quite a bit is still likely to be somewhat recent and accurate, such as the Oculus logo change - already live on their website now
What? :/

Lol. I guess it would only be like that if they were made for the OS.

I'm betting a lot of this *is* real - like the looks of the device itself, and maybe even the simple input device. It may be a placeholder site from a few months ago, but it's not like a ton's gonna change in a few months.
And as one person on Reddit said:
"Photoshop says the big website mockup image was last edited on April 24, so it's not that old, Palmer."

"It's going to be like the OS for GearVR. It's something that allows you to access titles while wearing the headset.

We know they want to do their own content store with exclusive content. It wouldn't be outlandish if they try to pull a Linux distro like SteamOS.
If the pics are indicative of the final unit it could be STEMS but I doubt it. May be an IR station that is tracked optically by the headset there.
Isn't it just the IR camera on a stand? The small slot might just be an extra USB plugin or something (as it's on the back).
Would be strange to change their tracking method after two prototypes (DK2 and Crescent Bay) improving upon it.

I guess so I just hope they don't introduce a major VR feature and make it exclusive to the OS.

Who knows, I don't think they'll introduce a feature say, but controlling the software stack can mean they are allowed to optimise the user experience.

There's nothing wrong with that logo. It's simple and easily identifiable.
The general look of the headset will be the same. They officially showed it already. The color may be different from these renders, though.I'm betting a lot of this *is* real - like the looks of the device itself, and maybe even the simple input device.

Yea? Couldn't just be a fancy little form housing for the camera?
It'll be like what they're doing on GearVR, with their own storefront/OS. Unlike with GearVR, it's unlikely to be mandatory on PC, though.

The green looks a bit weird to me, but other than that... roll on CV1!
A lot of those are from their demos. They had a pretty simple demo where a alien was talking to you and tracking you while you moved around.

Here's what I'm wondering...the menu on top of the main page has links Rift, GearVR, Skyline, Creators.
So what's Skyline?
So what's Skyline?
I'm guessing they are making a 360degree photo/tourism-app or something.

I really hope that thing isn't the actual input device they've been talking about.
We don't need a simple remote, we need an input device that actually has been designed for VR games, like the analog stick was for 3d games.
I imagined something like the Wiimote + Nunchuck... Our traditional controllers aren't ideal for VR.

They didn't show that lens on the front, or the "simple input device", or the new camera with stand. Only a couple random angles of the headset designed to hide what it really looks like
But what if that input device can detect where it is and moves in 3D space?
I think they're related to some of they've done(or are working on). The alien is probably from the Crescent Bay demo, same with the standing on a ledge image. Then the one with the giant robot hand is from a VR film they're producing.
Yea, the camera would be new. But it looks the same otherwise. First glimpse of the straps, I guess? Just talking about the headset specifically.
It's not fake, its an old mockup image. Palmer already confirmed it was real, but says its "ancient" and we shouldn't expect everything to carry through.
However someone also pointed out it said photoshop said the the mock-up was last updated on April 24th 2015.

Heh yeah, some intern having a laugh
Alright then.
Good to know we'll still get to see something new on the 11th.
It's kind of boring to get leaks 2 days before something.
