according to Yates the optical tracking and fresnel lenses were the only things Oculus changed from the Steam Sight to the CV1. The rest of the actual architecture was the same.

The question will be what changed from the CV1 to the Rift, but I don't think valve is going to sue oculus either way. This is just to expand the understanding of how slimy a company oculus was even before it was acquired by facebook.




CV1 and Rift are alternate names for the same headset.


You're right I was confusing CV for the DK headsets - I remember playing fallout 3 on the DK2 and loving it.

I would say Alan Yates and Ben Krasnow are pretty credible.
