Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg disclosed the organization's second virtual reality headset on Wednesday: A wireless, independent headset called Oculus Go.

The Go will cost $199, and will send "ahead of schedule one year from now," Zuckerberg said at Oculus' yearly engineers gathering in San Jose, Calif.

Facebook as of now has one headset, called Oculus Rift. Be that as it may, it's costly, particularly for an easygoing VR client — it costs $399 with controllers. (Facebook really brought down the cost by $100 amid the meeting.) The Rift likewise requires a powerful PC so as to control the headset, and links and wires that mean clients can't without much of a stretch pack it up and bring it with them. Accordingly, it's most famous with gamers.

The Oculus Go doesn't require links, and is intended to be a higher quality rendition of the less expensive VR headsets that are controlled by clients' cell phones, similar to the Samsung Gear headset.
