Carmack Says Facebook 'Gets the Big Picture' on VR and Oculus Rift
Carmack - "Honestly, I wasn't expecting Facebook (or this soon). I have zero personal background with them, and I could think of other companies that would have more obvious synergies. However, I do have reasons to believe that they get the Big Picture as I see it, and will be a powerful force towards making it happen. You don't make a commitment like they just did on a whim."

Kind Words from the Oculus Rift Team Welcome Microsoft and Sony Into the VR Game
Nate Mitchell, VP of Product at Oculus VR - "We are all about having more people involved in the VR space. The more developers excited about virtual reality and the bigger the audience is, the more likely they are to build VR content. So having a major player get behind virtual reality in a big way opens the door for more devs to build VR content. So, we're really hopeful that they do it right -- Anyone that's doing VR, the main thing is just do it right."
