In view of the developments, Mark Zuckerberg has published a message on its official page to explain why the deal was closed and how it intends to use the complex virtual reality technology in the future to connect the world even more.
The Facebook CEO explained that the social network should embrace the most innovative technology as soon as possible in order to grow and thrive and that it aims to make sure that the current focus on mobile devices will continue to be its core strategy company.

Το απίστευτο με αυτήν την τεχνολογία είναι ότι ο τελικός χρήστης θα νιώθει ότι είναι πραγματικά παρόν σε ένα άλλο χώρο με άλλους ανθρώπους."
The CEO of Facebook has stressed that this experience will be something different that no one has ever experienced.
Mark Zuckerberg recognizes that the main reason you are currently using Oculus Rift technology is for immersive experiences Gaming, but also predicts a future where the same technology will bring people closer to virtual space.
Oculus Rift technology can be used to deliver augmented reality experiences and Facebook will work with other companies to fully exploit the potential of this technology in the coming years.
The terms of the agreement state that the entire team of Oculus Rift will continue to work on their device, which means that the second version of the development kit will soon be shipped to growth and that the consumer version should be ready before the end of the year.
