The Oculus Rift VR headset lets you see into another world — but not your own. It’s not like Microsoft’s HoloLens, where you interact with 3D objects in your world. At least, not yet. Oculus just bought Surreal Vision, a startup dedicated to pulling the real world into VR.
Surreal Vision specialises in something called “real-time 3D scene reconstruction”, a fancy term that means “mapping out 3D worlds on the fly”.
