Facebook’s Oculus division is making good progress on its next-generation virtual reality headset, dubbed Project Santa Cruz. It’s a standalone device that has no wires and does not have to be connected to a personal computer, leaving the wearer free to wander around a room in VR. It creates a liberating feeling that allows you to become much more immersed in your environment.
Oculus showed off the prototype on stage at its Oculus Connect event keynote speech yesterday at the San Jose Convention Center. It is distinct from the mobile-based Samsung Gear VR and the Oculus Go $200 headset announced yesterday. Santa Cruz is also different from the Oculus Rift PC-based VR headset.
