Facebook swallows Oculus VR

Facebook swallows Oculus VR

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. The payment of the purchase price is 400 million U.S. dollars in cash and 1.6 billion dollars in shares. 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. As Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg reported results for Oculus VR the opportunity to build the most social platform ever bringing the way of work, communication and playing would undergo a change. The data eyewear manufacturers traced to cause the target to experience the users the unbelievable. As applications for the Oculus VR games, movies and product advertising are conceivable.

When and at what price the data glasses will come on the market, also have no information known. In the mid-1990s, there were already attempts to establish similar glasses on the market but the demand was too low and the technology is not as modern as today.
