After Bashing Facebook for acquiring Oculus Rift, finally there is something to show the hn people - thinking beyond the use cases previously thought will help bringing the technology closer to consumers. Oculus Rift use case of hardcore gaming is still alive and facebook acquiring is a good nothing so that people David and his team can invest time to bring their content Oculus Rift. Thanks David for showing us new uses for the Oculus Rift..
Immerse 3d video is one of the original use-cases for VR tech and is pretty common. I remember seeing ads for headsets in Skymall of all places in the 90s. If anything, this is strong confirmation that the OR is not going to find a good home for the original use-case and FB is just turning it into a big media delivery channel.
