New Oculus technology means a VR-ready PC could cost as little as $500.
According to GamesIndustry.biz, innovations called "Timewarp" and "Spacewarp" are part of the Oculus firmware, and they work together to lower PC requirements for virtual reality.
VR games need to run at 90 frames per second to eliminate nausea, and these two parts of the firmware work together to make 45 FPS feel like 90 FPS by creating synthetic frames.
Oculus claims the minimum specs will be an Nvidia GTX 960, an Intel Core i3-6100 / AMD FX4350, and 8GB RAM. You can fit these in a PC which costs around $500, while current "VR-ready" PCs currently cost nearer $1,000 and beyond. It also potentially brings the specs down to laptop level.
