Khail and Ashley discuss today's Oculus announcements (from Oculus Touch to all the games scheduled for the new VR headset), and a wacky interactive billboard from Fiat helping drivers parallel park their cars.

This article, Oculus Rift gets a Q1 2016 release, we better upgrade our PCs (Tomorrow Daily 193), originally appeared on CNET.com.

It's Thursday, and our last show of the week, but this morning Oculus held a pre-E3 keynote to let us know the official release window for their Rift VR headset. You'll be waiting until early 2016 to get your hands on a Rift, but it seems like it might be worth the wait: the company partnered with Microsoft to bundle an Xbox One controller with the retail version, plus it's working on its own controller prototype, Oculus Touch.

We're also showing off a really cool interactive ad from the minds at Fiat and Leo Burnett. It's a projection on a wall next to an empty parking space, and sensors combined with the footage helps drivers parallel park in the space without issue.

Our E3 plans are also on tap for today's show, so don't miss our schedule for next week's shows!

Here are some links and notes for all the things on the show today:
