One year ago, Oculus founder Palmer Luckey told me that his virtual reality headset company had no intention to sell. If Oculus already had enough money to launch its consumer virtual reality platform, why would it sell to Mark Zuckerberg?

Luckey says that Facebook will not only allow Oculus to stay independent, but that it will also provide the resources to design and produce components purpose-built for virtual reality hardware.
