Public opinion of Oculus hasn't been very high lately thanks to its Facebook acquisition, but its not going down without a fight.
Michael Abrash, formerly in charge of augmented and virtual reality at Valve, is now part of the Oculus team as chief scientist.
No beef with Facebook
The new chief scientist also isn't phased by Oculus's new owner. For Abrash, it all boils down to having the necessary funds because "fully tapping the potential of VR will take decades," and a lot of time means a lot of money.
Now with Facebook on board as cash cow, Abrash feels as though "VR is going to happen in all its glory."
Perhaps with his support and positive outlook, the vitriol on the 'net will die down a bit and people will begin to realize that it really is virtual reality's time to shine.
