At the Oculus Connect developer conference Oct. 11, the Facebook subsidiary unveiled its latest VR headset, the Oculus Go. Unlike the company’s first headset, the Rift, the new Go doesn’t need to be connected to a powerful gaming computer to work, nor does it have any wires for you to get tangled in as you use it.

The new headset is Oculus’s first standalone product, and it’ll cost $199. It’s a burgeoning market right now: Last year, just about every VR headset required a connection to a powerful computer, or used a smartphone for its processing power. But neither of these were particularly great experiences—you were either left tethered to a computer by a few feet of cabling, or engaging with very simplistic VR smartphone apps.
