Oculus Connect 3: What to expect and how to watch online

Oculus VR’s annual developers conference kicked off earlier this week, but the main keynote is happening now.

The Facebook-owned company is holding a two-hour address, where you can expect both Oculus and Facebook to discuss the latest details on not only virtual reality but also Oculus Rift. Here’s everything you need to know about Oculus Connect 3, including how to watch it and what might be announced.

Oculus Connect 3: What can you expect?

Rift Touch controllers

We might see new products and new games, and we might hear about new plans or new information about existing products. We’re hoping to learn more about the Rift Touch controllers, including cost, when they’ll be available, and which games will be compatible with the controllers at launch.

Games and partnerships

Oculus previously said more than 30 games would be compatible with Rift Touch, so we expect to learn more. Samsung also appeared at last year’s keynote, as Oculus is a partner of the Samsung Gear VR, so we could see the company appear this year along with some other partners.

Other than that, everything is a mystery.
