Oculus and Facebook are partnering to develop MMO gaming users up to 1 billion

Oculus CEO Brendan (Brendan Iribe) today revealed that the future with http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/1560.html "> One of the big prospects for Facebook's partnership: Creating an MMO (Massively multiplayer Online) game where 1 billion of users can participate in virtual reality at the same time. When Facebook spent $2 billion on virtual reality (VR) device developer Oculus, both were tight-lipped about future goals. It has been predicted that the money will help Oculus develop more affordable, better quality virtual reality headsets, and Facebook will have the opportunity to lead a new generation of large computing platforms. Now, a new opportunity for cooperation has surfaced.

Erica admits that online games with players up to 1 billion people "need more social networks than currently exist". Facebook's social network is a great starting point, he says, and suggests that Facebook can play the role of a transit station and become a virtual reality that connects different virtual worlds.

This may be one of the reasons why Oculus decided to join Facebook rather than a traditional gaming company. Eric says Oculus will still focus on the game, but the company also recognizes that this focus may also limit its prospects. In the long run, the sales of dedicated gaming devices are far less robust than mobile devices, says Eric.

Last year NASA came up with a vision to search for signs of extraterrestrial life on the scale of the 1 billion-level virtual reality holographic deck, which coincides with Oculus's new goal.

Oculus's office in Seattle will become a research and development laboratory and collaborate with university students to develop virtual reality, says Eric.
