Technology

I was going to do a technology blog at first, but i realized there are so many and there are other things I would like to blog about.  But I have talked about 3D Printing so I wanted to do a post about the Oculus Rift. 

For a quick example the Oculus Rift is about the closet thing we have to virtual reality right now.  A friend of mine actually owns it and it is a headset that you wear that puts you into the video game.  ALL you can see is what you are playing. 

The big controversy right now though, is that Facebook just bought the rights to the Oculus.  It is basically like playing a game in 3D and there are other things you can do like watch 3D movies.  I think Facebook bought it for one big reason, and that is so they can throw ads at you and then they generate more money. 

I hope they stick to the path the original creators had in mind because this is the next big step in the gaming industry, a long with also many other things one can do.

About Oculus Rift and Facebook

This is a link explaining why Facebook bought it and for those who have no general idea about the Oculus Rift, there is a video explaining what it is.  Here is a image from Forbes showing what the finished product should look like.
