Oculus owner Facebook is reportedly working on a follow-up to the Oculus Quest--its all-in-one VR solution that can be used completely wirelessly or tethered to a more powerful PC.

The report, which comes via Bloomberg, states that Oculus is currently ironing out hardware details for the device, which sounds like an iterative follow-up rather than an entirely new platform. The ideas suggest that this new design could be anywhere between 10-15% lighter, with an overall design that is slightly smaller too to improve comfort.
