Oculus Go Standalone VR Headset Now Available [Video]

Facebook has announced the release of Oculus Go, its first standalone VR headset.

Break free of the confines of traditional 2D screens with your favorite entertainment, level up your play style from inside the game, and spend quality time hanging out with friends—no matter how far apart you may be. Oculus Go delivers all this and more in a convenient standalone form factor and at an attractive price point that promises to radically change the game for consumer VR.

Features:
● Surrounded by sound.
Spatial audio drivers are built right into the headset, providing dramatic, immersive sound without the need for bulky or tangled headphones. Oculus Go also features a 3.5 mm audio jack, so how you listen is always up to you.

● The most innovative lenses in VR.
Oculus Go brings experiences to life in rich detail, vibrant color, and with a wide field of view. With crystal-clear optics and optimized 3D graphics, hardware and software work together to offer the highest visual clarity in standalone VR.

● Designed to disappear.
Breathable fabrics, injection foam molding and other advances in wearable materials allow Oculus Go to feel light and comfortable even for extended periods of use. The soft, adjustable straps hold the headset gently—and securely—in place.

Specs:
● A Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 chip paired with an automatic Dynamic Throttling feature offers better energy efficiency, for smoother frame rates and a better overall experience.
● Crystal-clear optics and Oculus' best lenses yet reduce the screen door effect and offer higher resolution than Oculus Rift. Lenses showcase a new display panel featuring 538ppi; 5.5'' 2560 x 1440 WQHD resolution standard with fast-switch LCD screen for improved visual clarity.
● While battery life will vary depending on content, a built-in lithium ion battery will power about two hours for games to up to 2.5 hours for streaming media and video.

You can purchase the Oculus Go with 32GB of storage for $199. The 64GB version is $249.
