Easy, simple and accessible This is how Oculus has achieved the experience of immersing itself in a virtual reality environment with its new Oculus Go helmet.

Oculus Go was launched at the beginning of May, at the Facebook developer conference, company to which it belongs and which since 2016 made it clear that the future of its social environment will end up going through the virtual experience. This device is the first big argument to achieve it.

And is that the Oculus Go is now the easiest way to make the leap to virtual reality. It's as simple as turning on and enjoying the content.

It has a comfortable design that adapts well to the head and face, is not heavy, has a good quality of video and sound and the equation is stable at an affordable price: 220 euros.

The viewer has been created in collaboration with Xiaomi, and in it we will find only three buttons (volume and power), a micro USB connection to charge it and a headphone jack in case you do not want to use its speaker system integrated in the side pins.

To be able to move and interact with the environment, the user has a small command with which he can work in the virtual terrain. Its handling is simple and it is enough with the thumb and index to carry out all the necessary actions.
