Just FYI, that's a misremembering that accidentally looks like a bad faith argument. The Oculus CV1 was released two years after the acquisition.
The price point and subsequent price drops were only made possible by Facebook making some important hires for the production engineering and being able to scale the processes to lower component and manufacturing costs.
For better and worse, the CV1 on day one had a meaningful amount of Facebook software and hardware engineering in it.
- ifyoubuildit 4y agoGood point, I did remember that wrong. I should have said the dev kit. I remember now that I begrudgingly bought cv1 from facebook because I wanted the tech badly enough to hold my nose. I don't mean to disparage any of the folks at fb that contributed or their work. I just don't think that companies like fb are capable of putting the user's needs first, as much as many individuals inside the company probably would like to.
