Facebook acquire Oculus VR on Tuesday, March 25 for $2 billion. Oculus VR is the company behind the Oculus Rift virtual reality headset. You can read the article on IGN for more information.
Mark Zuckerberg said that Facebook acquiring Oculus VR will allow them to expand further with Oculus Rift by reaching "new kinds of experiences."
"By feeling truly present, you can share unbound spaces and experiences with the people in your life," said Zuckerberg. "Imagine sharing not just moments with your friends online, but entire experiences and adventures."
To be honest, I haven't been keep up too much with the virtual reality news, but I find what Zuckerberg said to be very fascinating. From everything I've heard and read, Oculus Rift was mainly for gaming, but what if this technology was used for something beyond gaming? Just think about what Oculus Rift could do if these bits are implemented into it.
While I only see virtual reality as sort of a gimmick in terms of gaming, I here Oculus Rift has great potential. I agree that it does have potential, and with what Zuckerberg said about Oculus Rift expanding, who knows what it could have in store for the future. If Oculus VR can manage to meet these new experiences now that Facebook is helping them, they may have something cool to look forward to.
