Oculus Go is Facebook’s new standalone headset for $200

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg unveiled a new standalone virtual reality headset called the Oculus Go today at the Oculus Connect event in San Jose. It will launch in early 2018 for $200, with developer kits shipping in November.

Head of Oculus VR Hugo Barra noted that it designed the Oculus Go to be lightweight and comfortable, with a new mesh fabric on the facial interface. It will feature upgraded lenses from the Oculus Rift headset, with the same field of view but less glare and a fast-switch LCD screen that displays at WQHD (Wide Quad HD) 2,560-by-1,440 resolution. Audio drivers will also be built right into the headset.
