"At every step along the way, the future is built by people who believe it can be better."
That's the message Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook's CEO, brought to the company's fourth annual Oculus Connect virtual reality developer conference Wednesday. As in previous years, Zuckerberg joined the stage to discuss the promise of what virtual reality can be and show off some goodies.
The company tallied 100 million app downloads, he said, and added that the company continues to work on a less-bulky version of its headsets.
But he said the company has a goal: Get 1 billion people in VR.
Maybe Zuckerberg can take those billion people along on his virtual cartoon tour of Puerto Rico's hurricane damage.

I think it's likely that Facebook VR is going to fail. Thank god. Let's just remember Facebook has really nothing to do with this technology. It was developed by Palmer and Carmack and then bought by facebook. I'd like to mention that as soon as they bought it, between DK2 and production releases, the SDK switched over to some real bullshit. Blackbox VR render buffer. Sockets library required to be linked into the end application. Some very unfriendly EULA language.

Which is a shame really. The more fakebook users Zucks can entrap in his virtual reality, the less the rest of us would have to deal with these superficial retards in real life.
