Facebook is buying Oculus VR, a startup that makes virtual reality headsets, in a $2 billion deal. Oculus doesn't make a consumer product yet, but its headset called the Oculus Rift for video game developers has completely changed the way many feel about video games.
According to a statement from CEO Mark Zuckerberg, the company plans to expand Oculus beyond gaming:
After games, we're going to make Oculus a platform for many other experiences. Imagine enjoying a court side seat at a game, studying in a classroom of students and teachers all over the world or consulting with a doctor face-to-face -- just by putting on goggles in your home.
Minecraft creator Markus Persson is canceling talks to bring his game to Oculus
