Oculus opens Quest and Rift S preorders, start shipping on May 21

The Oculus Quest and the Rift S launch May 21, and you can preorder these virtual reality headsets now for $400.

The Quest represents a significant shift in virtual reality. It’s a standalone headset — the only wire you’ll deal with is the charging cable, which plugs into the headset. Setup includes the Guardian system, which helps you set up the space in which you’ll use the Quest (and it looks and feels like a holodeck, too, and it’s honest-to-goodness fun to use as you draw an area inside the app while wearing the headset).
