Oculus Touch delayed to second half of 2016

Oculus VR announced today that its Oculus Touch hand controls for virtual reality will be delayed until the second half of 2016.

In a blog post, the company said it needs more time to perfect its Touch controls, which allow you to use your hands in a virtual-reality simulation. That means the Oculus Rift headset will ship with an Xbox One controller — a traditional video game input device — when it debuts in the first quarter. Preorders for the Oculus Rift will start “very soon,” according to Oculus VR, which Facebook bought for $2 billion in March 2014.
