That's the real reason Facebook bought Oculus.

This March, when Facebook announced a 2 billion dollar takeover of virtual reality equipment Rift VR maker Oculus, the company's move sparked a public outcry. As Facebook's CEO Mark Zuckerberg said, they bought Oculus because it was "a new exchange platform." "This time, more information about the takeover was revealed at the International Committee of Parley Summit (Paley analysys Council Summit).

"Oculus is the future of computing equipment and entertainment," said Dan Rose, the Facebook content and media co-vice president, for the following reasons:

If you look at the trends in computing technology over the last 50 years, you'll find that we've started with a non personalized, inconvenient mainframe computer, and then there's the desktop, and we're entering an era where individuals can interact with computers directly at home, and then laptops, We can carry the computer with us, today we put the computer into our own pocket.

As this development pattern develops naturally, computers will eventually become more intimate with our bodies. And, we believe this means that we can directly put the computer on our heads and then interact with it with our eyes.

Sounds futuristic, doesn't it?

As for the implementation of this computing device, Rose thinks there are many possibilities, and their bets are all on virtual reality, and he believes that virtual reality technology will be the ramp for humans to enter the era of optical computing devices.

In other words, Facebook believes that virtual reality technology will be a new way of interacting with computers.

By then, you will be able to use your eyes to control computers, a technology that not only achieves the mission of devices such as Google Glasses, but also advances the concept a step further.

In a recent interview, Oculus's CEO, Brendan Iribe, has said that virtual reality devices will eventually shrink to a pair of glasses. Obviously, if we can use our eyes to control such devices, we will experience a new way of interacting with computers that we have never experienced before.

Facebook believes Oculus is ahead of everyone in making this technology a reality. Knowing this, it is not hard to understand the motives of Facebook's takeover of Oculus.
