The first virtual reality experience that you try will be a video game, at least if Oculus has its way. The Facebook-owned company unveiled the first consumer version of its Oculus Rift VR headset today, alongside a new controller and a long list of gaming company partners. And while Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has recently stated grandiose ambitions for the future of virtual reality under his reign, his employees at Oculus seem to focused mainly on convincing the rest of us to ditch our TVs in favor of a more immersive gaming experience.

Oculus CEO Brendan Iribe said during the company’s announcement that virtual reality is the solution to a problem that existed since the dawn of video games 40 years ago.

“As hard as you try to imagine being there, being inside of the game, you’re simply not. Your brain knows that you're sitting there looking at a TV,” Iribe said.
