Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg wants to get a billion people to live and play in VR.
But the company won't get there with premium VR headsets like the Oculus Rift, which require expensive gaming PCs. Mobile VR headsets like the Gear VR are nice, but they don't offer the same immersion.
Facebook's solution? Oculus Go, an all-in-one standalone VR headset that doesn't require a smartphone. The headset's only $199 and shipping early next year.

Zuckerberg says standalone VR headsets like the Go are the "sweet spot" for VR. Go's affordability makes it super attractive, but it's really just a Gear VR that doesn't require you to insert a phone. The VR experience is closer to a mobile VR one.

Go ships with a new custom optical lens design. It has the same wide field-of-view as the Rift and improved WQHD 2,560 x 1,440 LCD lenses, which Barra say is better than OLED screen

(There's still a 3.5mm headphone jack if you want some privacy, though.) The audio system also lets others hear what you're listening to... if you want other people to even know what you're doing in VR.

Developer kits for the Oculus Go ship in November. Facebook's full Oculus VR family now includes four headsets: Gear VR, Oculus Go, Santa Cruz, and the Rift:
