Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook’s CEO, posted a photo of himself Oct. 5th wearing a Rift and using the Oculus Touch controller. In the post, he says, “Getting ready to demo something new we’ve been building in virtual reality. Tune in tomorrow at 10am pacific time to hear about the future of VR at Oculus Connect.”
Zuckerberg’s announcement may be big news for the tech world. According to The Verge, Zuckerberg has frequently commented that VR can be much more than gaming. It can be a platform for many other experiences, he said in a 2014 Facebook post.
