Oculus Rift available for pre-order, says Zuckerberg

The post read, "When you put on Oculus, you'll feel like you instantly teleported into adventures like deep-sea diving, piloting a starfighter or playing in a band on stage. More than 100 virtual reality games and other experiences are coming this year. And long term, I believe virtual reality has the potential to change the way we live, work and communicate in many ways. Today is an important step towards that future." 

According to the Facebook post, Oculus Rift can be purchased for $599 at shop.oculus.com and the product will be shipped to 20 countries initially by end of March. 

Stating that Oculus Rift will be the cutting edge product of the year, Mark as well took the opportunity to thank his team for their hard work and contribution. 

Apart from the much expected Oculus Rift, Zuckerberg and his team are developing several cutting edge technologies.

The young CEO's post also read, "We're building technology to connect everyone by beaming down internet access from solar-powered planes and satellites using lasers. We will soon have the first flight of our Aquila aircraft that has a wingspan larger than a Boeing 737 but weighs less than a car. We're also working to launch a satellite into orbit to connect Sub-Saharan Africa this year. Third, our AI research team is making progress helping computers to see and understand. We recently built a prototype that combines language and vision comprehension so it can answer questions about an image. We're using AI to help blind people in our community experience their friends' photos by having our systems describe the scenes. I'm also doing my own personal challenge to build a simple AI to help run my home and help with my work. This is an area I'm personally very interested in long term."

Evidently, Mark Zuckerberg is quite excited and so are his fans and tech-geeks from across the globe! With these latest inventions coming from the social media giant, 2016 is going to be the year of technology.
