Occulus Rift goggles have been diccussed by facebook at an event in San Francisco. This is the first commercial version of virtual reality. It will be tethered to begin with a gaming computer. It will work with a gaming controller made by Microsoft for its Xbox One console or Oculus Touch, a pair of half-moons that fit over the hands. It would be convenient to wear the goggles for hours at a time, because of the change in design and software. The users will feel it just as a piece of clothing. Initially it is a gaming device, but in time would employ microphones for communication. It will allow gamers to to talk to each other and eventually might be used for commands. There would be voice recognition software to recognise computing commands and laser-based high-speed wireless data transfers. It then becomes a teleportation device.

The product will be available in 2016.
