The Facebook has secured the VR goggles manufacturer Oculus VR for 2.3 billion U.S. dollars and is the second billion purchase within just two months.

A bonus in the form of a 300 million U.S. dollar equity stake get the Oculus-founders, if the pre-set targets have been achieved.
The data glasses Oculus Rift has so far been sold to 40,000 developers and is not available for normal users.
