Road (1)  OcculusWired dives into the inside story of virtual reality company Oculus Rift and its post-Facebook acquisition possibilities. "Beyond that, though, the company and its technology herald nothing less than the dawn of an entirely new era of communication. Mark Zuckerberg gestured at the possibilities himself in a Facebook post in March when he announced the acquisition: “Imagine enjoying a courtside seat at a game, studying in a classroom of students and teachers all over the world, or consulting with a doctor face-to-face—just by putting on goggles in your home.” That’s the true promise of VR: going beyond the idea of immersion and achieving true presence—the feeling of actually existing in a virtual space."

Road (1) And speaking of Occulus, co-founder Palmer Luckey is being sued by Zenimax Media and id Software over alleged misappropriations of "trade secrets related to virtual reality technology." On the bright side, though, the Chuck E. Cheese will soon be getting its own Oculus Rift game.
