Oculus is building a wireless VR headset

Apart from Touch controllers, Oculus also demoed a standalone wireless VR headset prototype codenamed Santa Cruz at its Connect 3 keynote on Friday. Unlike Oculus Rift which requires to be plugged to a powerful PC to work, Santa Cruz does not require a mobile device or PC  to work.

The design is similar to Rift, but there is no wires, which means you can move around freely without worrying about tripping over wires.

Santa Cruz has a couple of sensors and four wide-angle cameras around the edges up front. The core components including processor, battery is placed on the back. The headset also has an inside-out tracking technology that uses the four front cameras for positional tracking, which then translates it into your virtual world.

Currently it is not known when the final product will release in the market, but you can check out the video below to see how Santa Cruz works:
