Silent Member Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 (edited) Yeah, pretty much. VR socialising, Vr games, VR hanging out with your friends in ad ridden places filled with real money dlc, total control over it's userbase. Sheep herding 2K.

azatoth Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 By the time I have the money to dabble in VR gaming, there will be more options and better technology so this Facebook buy doesn't really bother me. Assuming that VR properly takes off this time, which it looks like it could. Then again, always thought that Oculus had the right idea by going the independent route and with the addition of John Carmack it looked promising, but who knows with Facebook getting involved how much corporate BS and interference will there be.

patternoverlap Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Why would Facebook want to get in on the VR market? To compete with Google Glass. I'm guessing they'll use the tech to make something more in that realm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will there be room for both virtual reality and augmented reality in future; perhaps the lines separating the two will begin to blur... Hold me.

Guest Atom Dowry Firth Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Yeah, pretty much.

theburglar Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I ordered a dev kit to work on some audiovisual installations. Even though I'm not a big fan of Facebook this actually might be good news for developers. Not going to jump to any conclusions yet.

sheatheman Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 (edited) i'm listening to a sad dododo song while browsing this thread in chronological order, and the shift from optimism and excitement to dread when facebook buys the 'lus is rather lyric.
