Oculus said to plan Santa Cruz VR for Q1 2019, Go phone viewer soon

A duo of reports today suggest that Oculus is about to have a thrilling September: Its standalone Santa Cruz VR headset is expected to finally get a release date — and some Rift ports — while its entry-level Go headset will soon gain the ability to share its visuals with smartphones.

Multiple independent sources have confirmed to UploadVR that Oculus is now targeting the first quarter of 2019 for the release of Santa Cruz, an all-in-one VR headset that contains its own computing and tracking hardware. Likely to be renamed before release, Santa Cruz has been in development for years, and features 6-degree-of-freedom head tracking, integrated cameras, and twin controllers as upgrades to the simpler $200 Oculus Go.
