Oculus Touch controllers will ship by end of 2016

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said that his company’s virtual reality division will ship the Oculus Touch controllers by the end of 2016. That’s on-track for the company’s promised (but delayed) schedule for the essential tools for navigating VR with the Oculus Rift VR headset. Update: Oculus Touch launches December 6 for $200.

Zuckerberg acknowledged that the company has had a “bit of a slow start” with the Oculus Rift when it debuted in March in limited quantities. But he said it is on-track now. And while he did not disclose numbers, he said that more than 1 million people use VR every month (which could be a reference to the whole industry, such as the HTC Vive for PC and Samsung Gear for mobile, not just Oculus).
