Oculus is working on a standalone VR headset

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said today that the company’s Oculus division is working on a standalone version of the Oculus Rift virtual reality headset, with no wires and no connection to a PC.

Zuckerberg announced the prototype at the Oculus Connect developer event in San Jose, California, where 2,500 developers are attending the three-day event. He said that the prototype sits between mobile VR, where you use a headset with a mobile phone’s screen such as the Samsung Gear VR and the Google Pixel, and the Oculus Rift, which connects through wires to a PC.
