Oculus VR has introduced its Rift virtual reality headset to a military market for the first time.

The company used the I/ITSEC conference in Orlando, Florida, to demonstrate to military customers the Oculus Rift, which incorporates a lightweight headset and software elements.

The system, which has already been introduced to the computer game market, recently raised $2.5 million in a launch campaign and has the backing of developers including Epic, Valve, ID, and Meteor. The company is now making a push into the military market.
