0 The screen of your computer displays two images side

by side, one for each eye, the Oculus Rift create an

stereoscopic 3D image. The goggles have sensors
inside that monitor your head movements and adjust
the image accordingly.
0 The latest version of the Oculus Rift have an extra
sensor outside which helps to track the head
movements accurately.
0 The result is the sensation that you are looking
around a 3D world.
