EsCk Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 (edited) Aqui vai BOMBA!!! I'm excited to announce that we've agreed to acquire Oculus VR, the leader in virtual reality technology. Our mission is to make the world more open and connected. For the past few years, this has mostly meant building mobile apps that help you share with the people you care about. We have a lot more to do on mobile, but at this point we feel we're in a position where we can start focusing on what platforms will come next to enable even more useful, entertaining and personal experiences. This is where Oculus comes in. They build virtual reality technology, like the Oculus Rift headset. When you put it on, you enter a completely immersive computer-generated environment, like a game or a movie scene or a place far away. The incredible thing about the technology is that you feel like you're actually present in another place with other people. People who try it say it's different from anything they've ever experienced in their lives. Oculus's mission is to enable you to experience the impossible. Their technology opens up the possibility of completely new kinds of experiences. Immersive gaming will be the first, and Oculus already has big plans here that won't be changing and we hope to accelerate. The Rift is highly anticipated by the gaming community, and there's a lot of interest from developers in building for this platform. We're going to focus on helping Oculus build out their product and develop partnerships to support more games. Oculus will continue operating independently within Facebook to achieve this. But this is just the start. 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. 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. These are just some of the potential uses. By working with developers and partners across the industry, together we can build many more. One day, we believe this kind of immersive, augmented reality will become a part of daily life for billions of people. Virtual reality was once the dream of science fiction. But the internet was also once a dream, and so were computers and smartphones. The future is coming and we have a chance to build it together. I can't wait to start working with the whole team at Oculus to bring this future to the world, and to unlock new worlds for all of us.

Revenge Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Ok... Qual o interesse do Facebook ter comprado isso? Para estragar? Quando comecei a ler, ainda cheguei a pensar que pudesse ser a Microsoft devido à Sony ter anunciado o Morpheus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mini0n Posted March 26, 2014 Author Share Posted March 26, 2014 O notch já cancelou as negociações para a adaptação do Minecraft ao Oculus Rift... E, curioso, há 2 anos o Oculus Rift pedia $250.000 no Kickstarter... Hoje foi por 2 mil milhões... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancer Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Wall Street doesn’t like what it sees. Facebook’s stock price (NASDAQ:FB) is dropping in after-hours trading after the company announced its purchase of virtual reality startup Oculus Rift. The stock, which closed up on the day, is now under its open price of $64.25, resulting in a loss of $1.5 – $1.8 billion market cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EsCk Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Minecraft creator Markus 'Notch' Persson said today that he is shelving plans to work on an Oculus Rift version of his hit game, following the VR company's $2 billion acquisition by Facebook.

Mini0n Posted March 26, 2014 Author Share Posted March 26, 2014 Não me parecei. Já tinha avançado essa notícia (ai EsCk, EsCk) e até deixei o link para o post em que o Notch se justifica. :Y: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EsCk Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Tens razão. Peço desculpa. E também não acho que tenha sido uma decisão "popularista". Qualquer coisa que o Facebook meta as mãos em cima, torna-se volátil como tudo (recentemente aconteceu o mesmo ao WhatsApp). Qualquer pessoa que tinha interesse comercial no Oculus Rift, fica agora com o rabo entre as pernas da incógnita que aí vem. É que realmente... para que raio quer o Facebook isto? Não é em nada a área deles. E agora passo um bocado de auto-promoção, e aviso que o episódio de hoje do Glitch Podcast (sai às 11h no Youtube) vamos falar disto. Quando gravamos ainda não tinha saído esta noticia, mas falamos de tudo isto do VR Gaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revenge Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 O Notch ainda se vai virar para o Morpheus. Já agora, a questão que coloquei à uns dias. Faz-me muita confusão que uma jogatana nestes VR's durante algumas horas não atrofie os olhos. É que ficamos a poucos centímetros do ecrã. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini0n Posted March 26, 2014 Author Share Posted March 26, 2014 *há Também me faz um bocado de espécie. Aqui e no Google Glass. Mas acredito que, como boa máquina que somos, isso seja de adaptação facilitada (com as típicas excepções, tipo o 3D dos cinemas). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancer Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 (edited) O Oculus Rift passou de produto a comprar day 1 fosse 350 fosse 500€ para produto a nunca comprar. É 1 backstab tremendo e entristece-me o facto de PC gaming perder isto. + pelo facto das intenções quanto ao rift deixarem de ser claras. pelo que percebi das declarações dá-se a entender que pretendem criar um sistema de entretenimento do facebook... ou seja mesmo as garantias de PC support foram perdidas para um possível dispositivo próprio que provavelmente não vai ter como foco principal gaming (pelo - gaming pelos nossos standards, Farmville VR ) Por outro lado, ainda bem que houve muita concorrência no que toca a VR na GDC. Se infelizmente o futuro do VR no PC envolver o Facebook, bem que me mudo para consolas por uma questão de principio. Pessoalmente, incomodava-me menos, se tivesse sido a Apple a comprar a Oculus VR ou até a EA... Edited March 26, 2014 by Lancer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EsCk Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Dinheiro, meu caro Lancer.. Dinheiro. Mesmo que os founders não quisessem vender, com 2 mil milhões de oferta, é caso arrumado. Isto para mim, é mais um hostile take-over. Coisa que o menino Mark vai continuar a fazer, até se afundar na banca-rota. Eu até achava que só a Valve é que tinha direito de opção sobre uma hipotética venda. Assim, se eu antes já achava tudo isto do VR algo completamente supérfluo, então agora é que me vai passar ao lado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
