Iribe revealed the company has already had conversations with manufacturers including Sony, which is developing its own virtual reality technology dubbed Project Morpheus.

However, Iribe said Oculus will probably hold off on making any partnerships until after the first consumer release of the Oculus Rift headset, which still does not have a release date set.
