This version of the Oculus Rift, called the Development Kit 2, is intended for developers to help them create virtual reality games before the consumer version of the Rift is released.

Interestingly enough, the iFixit teardown revealed the Oculus Rift DK2 uses the very same screen as the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, right down to the touch digitizer and circuitry. You can even see the Samsung logo on the display's front panel.
