The Medic on the futuristic capability of virtual reality

The TF2VRH (short for Team Fortress 2 Very Rectangular Headset) is a promotional headwear item for all classes. It is a black head-mounted display unit with a rectangular screen that covers the wearer's eyes, has 2 triangles indented on the sides of the screen, 2 bolts attached to the sides of the center of the unit, a strap that goes around the forehead, and a yellow jiggleboned wire coming from the top of the unit to the side of the user's head. If the user is using the Oculus Rift headset as a display while playing Team Fortress 2 and has entered -vr into the game's launch preferences, the rim of the virtual item will emit a faint team-colored glow. The whole headset is designed to look like the Oculus Rift VR head-mounted display.

The TF2VRH was issued in Genuine quality to players who redeemed the code obtained by preordering an Oculus Rift development kit from the official developer website before April 1, 2013 or by backing any level on the official Kickstarter page.

Update history

March 19, 2013 Patch

  • The TF2VRH was added to the game.

Unused content

  • The TF2VRH has unused models and textures that utilizes a team-colored glow coming out of the screen's rims. The textures can be found under the filenames all_class_oculus_screen (for the RED team) and all_class_oculus_screen_blue (for the BLU team), while the models can be found under all_class_oculus_[class]_on.

Trivia

  • In real life, the Demoman would be unable to actually use a VR head-mounted display, since the Demoman only has one eye and two eyes are needed to see a 3D image.
