Facebook has announced that they have brought Oculus VR for $2 billion as their first-ever hardware deal. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, explained why the company purchased Oculus VR in a post he made on Facebook.
”But this is just the start. After games, we’re going to make Oculus a platform for many other experiences. Imagine enjoying a courtside seat at a game, studying in a classroom of students and teachers all over the world or consulting with a doctor face-to-face — just by putting on goggles in your home.
This is really a new communication platform. By feeling truly present, you can share unbounded spaces and experiences with the people in your life. Imagine sharing not just moments with your friends online, but entire experiences and adventures.”
