Oculus Rift Development Kit Teardown @ Fix It

Ever wonder what it takes to create a virtual reality system??  As it would seem, there isn't much to it. 

Fixit has posted a teardown article of the new Oculus Rift and shows you exactly what is inside.  Not to discredit anyone but headset + large digital panel is a given. 

Let's face it, the year is 2013. Where are our flying cars? Why isn't deep space travel a thing yet? Why hasn't virtual reality become, well, reality? The Oculus Rift seeks to fill that lack of virtual reality in our lives. Still in its early developmental stage, the Oculus Rift promises to deliver VR gaming to the yearning public. Join us as we take a peek inside the Oculus Rift and its hardware.

I halfway expected there to be two digital panels inside but instead they created two optical chambers using a plastic divider and split the signal before reaching the panel.  Seems like a good way to save some cash.
