Oculus has announced a new standalone virtual reality headset that will release in 2018. The Oculus Go VR headset will release for $199.
It doesn't requires any cables or a smartphone to be used as a display. The device will be "super lightweight" in order to make the best experience for users.
"[The LCD display will] dramatically improve visual clarity and reduce screen door effect," said Oculus. Speakers will be built right into the headset, as well as a 3.5mm headphone jack.
All Gear VR apps will be compatible with Oculus Go.
