Chinese Developed Oculus Rift Competitor Hit Kickstarter
It's called the ANTVR Kit. It looks to be a Oculus Rift challenger. That is, should it get funded and, more importantly, live up to its promises.

What also makes this project different is how it claims to be an all-in-one kit with a unique foldable controller.

At the time of writing, ANTVR has about $90,000 of its $200,000 goal funded with 38 days left to go.
