Oculus Go review — Mobility makes it a powerful experience

Facebook’s Oculus division has been working on making virtual reality into an easier, more accessible, and hassle-free experience. The result is the Oculus Go, which you can use with no PC connection and no wires.

The Oculus Go can’t run some of the beefiest virtual reality applications that have been made for the more powerful Oculus Rift with Touch controllers. But that’s OK, because the Oculus Go brings the power of mobility and wireless connectivity to VR. That’s important when it comes to making VR easy to get into for people who have never used it before.
