when I read the story I really was wondering what the fuss. OR actually needs the type of funding that a company like Facebook, Apple, MS you name it to get behind. In order for the tech to go from niche to mainstream, it must be incorporated into a much broader vision.
What I do not understand is that the things that Zuck stated would be part of the vision still helps the device for gaming. Its not like Zuck and company including Carmack do not know what it takes to be a gaming device. The parts that make it an excellent gaming device also make it a complete system as well. You still have optics, motion, view angle etc. All the tech within the device if sold in the millions will make the cost of the device cheaper as component price scale.
People only see the price of the business sold to Facebook but forget that Facebook will probably invest billions to make this a real deal. Actually Facebook probably have a greater chance to make the OR a real deal than Sony with their headset. Facebook is printing money right now while Sony still must ride a very cautious path since they are still in the red as a business.
