Anyone else care much about virtual reality like on the Oculus Rift or with the Virtuix Omni? I've always been passionate about it. What are your opinions on what's going on? Can Facebook help make the Oculus Rift any better? Any other VR stuff?
On a scale of one to ten, what's your favorite color in the alphabet?

I believe this is a great buy by Facebook in a social network standpoint. In a gaming perspective, I am hopeful it will bring a lot of positive as well. I don't think they have departed from the main purpose of the Oculus which is video games. It's just going to get better quicker if anything.

Might actually have to agree with you here. Facebook is an endless garden hose of development money for Oculus to run with.GoHabsGoQC wrote:I believe this is a great buy by Facebook in a social network standpoint.

Okay, so we got two VR savants and a bottomless development funds backing the Rift. This looks pretty hopeful after all.ArchAngel wrote:Doh. That's right. Abrash is Valve, and Carmack left ID.

Well, funds almost always comes with some strings attached. The bigger the funds, the more entangled the strings.
Now, Facebook might be more Laissez-faire about it than other companies and they might even utilize their experience on developing platforms to make the Rift even more accessible, so it can turn out to be a good thing. I'll remain skeptical on it and we'll see if this bad taste in my mouth is unjustified.
