How to Set Up an Oculus Rift

Required Items:
oculus rift head tracker camera

oculus rift compatible computer

1 oculus rift + included cords. HDMI cord, USB cords

Find and install oculus rift compatible software. Personally I recommend Team Fortress 2, as it is the easiest to find and install, and once the Oculus software is set up, the easiest to enable virtual reality. However, here are some lists of games with Oculus support:
