Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg showed off the newest hardware portal to the world of virtual reality, the Oculus Go, at the company’s F8 conference on Tuesday. First announced back in October, the $199 headset went on sale Tuesday as a more affordable, more approachable entrant to VR than its predecessor, the $399 Oculus Rift. According to early reviews, the headset looks like the company’s—and indeed, the virtual reality space’s—first real opportunity to bring VR to the masses. At a time when Facebook is juggling so many serious issues relating to privacy, data use, and international policy, its new headset feels like a distraction. It also feels somewhat inappropriately named.
