Facebook teases the Oculus Go, an upcoming standalone VR headset that will hit the market in early 2018 for $199. This device will not require a PC, it will use roughly the same software as the Samsung Gear VR and will feature "fast-switch" LCD panels with a 2560 x 1440 pixels resolution.

Developers kits will ship in November and the device will be compatible with apps that run on the Samsung Gear VR. The Oculus Go has built-in speakers and feature a 3.5mm jack for a headset.
