Short of attending an industry event or ordering your own dev kit, it’s a bit tricky to get your hands on an Oculus Rift VR headset. Soon, that could change: the company just secured $75 million in funding to bring the product to market.

After a few abortive attempts at virtual reality crashed and burned in the early ‘90s, it was a struggle to get anyone in the tech world to take VR seriously.
