Oculus unveils standalone virtual reality headset

Oculus Go headsets will be priced at $199 when they

begin shipping early next year, Zuckerberg said during a keynote presentation at an annual developers conference in the Silicon Valley city of San Jose.
Zuckerberg touted Oculus Go as the first product in a "sweet spot" between virtual experiences using smartphones and those handled by powerful desktop computers.
"It's an all-new, standalone headset that doesn't require you to snap in a phone or plug in a cable," Zuckerberg said.
Oculus Go uses internal cameras, sensors and software to track movements that are translated into corresponding motion in virtual worlds rendered in headsets.

"We want to get a billion people in virtual reality," Zuckerberg said.
