IFixit gives Oculus Rift 7 out of 10 for repairability

Description

A consumer-ready version of the Oculus Rift VR headset is finally arriving on doorsteps, but it costs a pretty penny at $600. iFixit disassembled the headset to gauge repair costs. The first pleasant surprise comes when removing the built-in headphones which can be unscrewed for easy replacement. There’s a thin plastic cover over the lenses and internals of the Rift, but it’s just held in place by a few easy-to-remove clips. Inside are two displays, each one secured to a lens housing. Each lens assembly can slide left and right so you can adjust for interpupillary distance. The only truly unrepairable part of the Oculus Rift is the head strap, there’s no way to remove it without cutting through the fabric on the headset.

VR Flying Simulator 'Birdly' Lets You Fly Like a Bird Between NYC Skyscrapers

It's been a dream of humans to fly through the sky at least since the time of Leonardo Da Vinci. Although we now have jetpacks and wingsuits, there wasn't a way for us to experience the sensation of flying between skyscrapers until now. This is Birdly, a virtual reality flying simulator that, unlike Red Bull, actually gives you wings. People were seen flapping virtual wings on Birdly at the 2017 SXSW festival on Wednesday. Birdly, the full-body virtual reality flying simulator, combines VR, music, and a wind generator to create the sensation of flying. Users flat their arms on the machine to flap wings in the simulation and generate lift. The idea for Birdly was conceived for a research project at the Zurich University of the Arts in 2013 and it was brought out onto the market in December 2015. How would you like to be free as a bird?

Microsoft Officially Getting Rid Of Windows 7

Many people would rather get a Windows 7 computer over Windows 10, even though there’s plenty to like about the 10. Those people are about to get some bad news. A few days ago was Microsoft’s official date to stop selling Windows 7 and 8.1 licenses to computer manufacturers. This doesn’t mean that all Windows 7 licenses are going to disappear, though. The inventory will be at plenty of retailers for awhile. Some may still have new desktops and laptops with Windows 7 installed. Support for Windows 7 doesn’t get cut off until January 2020, so those Windows 10 haters will be covered.
