Safe to say, people are *excited* about the Oculus Rift, and that includes taking it apart.

It's a slick-looking device, but there are plenty of intricate bits to check out inside. In this teardown, courtesy of*iFixit, you can take a look at the large lenses, the invisible infrared dots that help track head movements, and the very mysterious "hidden" microphone.

If you're lucky e**ugh to get your hands on a **t-very-cheap Oculus Rift headset, we can't recommend you do this deconstruction at home. Better just satisfy your*curiosity with the video.*
