Facebook Inc.’s Oculus VR unit is putting the finishing touches to its virtual-reality headset for consumers, a new product group that it says could grow faster than any previous kind of hardware.

Oculus is working on how people playing games on the Rift device will interact with the virtual world they’re seeing through its 3-D goggles, Chief Executive Officer Brendan Iribe said in an interview with Bloomberg Television at the Dublin Web Summit today. The company’s research involves headsets as well as the external camera, he said.
