Facebook maintains that pioneering VR headset is "very much in the development stage"

Oculus Rift unlikely to launch this year

“Oculus is very much in the development stage, so it’s early to be talking about large shipment volumes, and our expense guidance reflects any volumes that we might do in 2015.”
