Check out this awesome video of GTA 5 for PC on the Oculus Rift DK2

A few days ago, Rockstar launched GTA 5 for the PC, and now we have multiple videos of the blockbuster game being played with the developer models of the Oculus Rift virtual reality headset.
Using the software vopX, which is a "driver specifically aimed at VR headsets like the Oculus Rift and supports many DX9-DX11 games," gamers have been able to get into the gigantic world of GTA for the PC.

How does vopX work? "It converts the displayed image to an output that is suitable for watching a game on the headset, in many cases in stereoscopic 3D. Beyond this base functionality vorpX offers many features specifically geared towards VR."

Check out one of the many very cool videos from the Oculus here:
