Facebook's VR Vision Beats Apple To Market

The thing about Facebook that makes it so powerful is that it has the courage of its convictions. When Mark Zuckerberg made his first play in virtual reality, it was a big one. He purchased the Oculus Rift for $2 billion back in 2014. You can argue that Oculus hasn't had a big impact, and has had more than its share of internal drama and turnover. But the Oculus purchase brought some serious VR talent in-house. Facebook has been working hard to turn that early bet into a global phenomenon. Now we're starting to see the output of this investment, which comes in three categories: hardware, software, and a vision of the long-term importance of AR and VR to users worldwide.
