The first VR headset is heading to market.

Gamers will still need to be patient, because it won't reach retail till early next year-but at least now-there is a timeline.

The headset is made by Oculus Rift and backed by Facebook, which spent 2 billion to buy the company.

There's no word on the sales price or all the technical details.

The headset will need to be used with a PC-which will handle the bulk of the computing necessary to create the illusion of another world.

You can starting ordering the Oculus Rift over the holidays.
