A new virtual reality headset is now available with Oculus Go hitting stores today. It's a portable, standalone VR platform that doesn't require a powerful PC or smartphone to power the headset, and it's from the makers of the Rift. Oculus Go also carries a relatively light price tag at $200 USD / £200 GBP / $300 AUD for the 32GB model, while the 64GB model goes for $250 / £250 / $369.

By nature of being cheaper and running solely on built-in hardware, Oculus Go isn't intended to deliver the same caliber of experiences as the Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, or PlayStation VR platforms. Instead, it's an accessible device powered by a Snapdragon 821 processor and a 5.5-inch LCD display with a resolution of 2560x1440. While this is an all-in-one VR solution, it lacks internal cameras for room-scale tracking. You'll be able to look around a 3D space, of course, but applications won't track leaning or physical movements on foot.
