Yeah, I see this as a big move for FB, much bigger than for Oculus. Someone I know had already identified FB as one of the Big Four several years ago, analogizing to the Big Four during the robber baron days of steel and rail. The other three are Apple, Amazon, and Google. All four have some sort of machine learning / AI race going on. They are not the only ones around (Twitter, for example). But this is pretty big. Google has the Glasses project. Apple probably has something cooking somewhere. And I have no idea about Amazon. I also wonder if FB will keep the team together. It'd be a shame for John Caramak to skip out after the acquisition.
