Your prediction isn't a prediction. It's fact. Just watch the videos posted from the previous Oculus Connect [1]. They demo some early prototypes to show their vision.

Several times I needed to pick my jaw off the floor from what they've accomplished with mapping the real world and virtualizing it. The fidelity is breathtaking.

If they keep up the pace of miniaturization we'll have Rainbow's End before we know it.

I'll maintain that it was a prediction as to why they purchased Mapillary.

But I'm super excited to see what comes of this technology. I recently bought into VR, and it's a clearly amazing technology. The content, however, remains lackluster. I firmly believe there is a large future in the production of VR content... To the point where I believe you could become a successful content creator with nothing more than a 360 camera and a few plane tickets.

Hey this is Joe from the blog post. Holy shit. I didn’t know about any of this.
Holy shit indeed. Any new thoughts as a result of this?
