wow such revolutionary

Guys. Brace yourselves because the future is now.

Why would Facebook want to get in on the VR market?

The reality:

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.

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.

To compete with Google Glass. I'm guessing they'll use the tech to make something more in that realm.

Zuckerberg you fucker.

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.

I threw up a little bit in my mouth. This isn't the future I was promised in my youth

will be similar to Total Recall for everyone :whatisreal:

but... it's cyberspace! I'm sure it will be awesome.

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.

This was an interesting read:

LET'S KILL FACEBOOK!!!!

roast, that facebook periscope picture is :)

wow, lots of LOL IRL here everyone.

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.

ive never seen a sci fi film where the communication links are commercialized, (your comm link to voltron will start after these brief messages) ,. but our future seems to hold total commercialization.
