what does Mark Z want to show to us??

He's a boy. Let the boy have have toys lol.

On a serious note, I still think he's buying stuff just out of ego.
When Snapchat didn't sell itself, it bought WhatsApp. When Google bought robotics company, it bought Oculus.

Easy to see the trend.

All that ego will collapse someday.

^Inevitably...
That's what History tells to Future Gens.

What the hell is Facebook doing buying a VR company for $2 billion?


We’ll let Zuckerberg’s statement take this one:

“This is really a new communication platform. By feeling truly present, you can share unbounded spaces and experiences with the people in your life. Imagine sharing not just moments with your friends online, but entire experiences and adventures,” said Zuckerberg. “One day, we believe this kind of immersive, augmented reality will become a part of daily life for billions of people.”
