Facebook has bought Oculus Rift, and they're not all about gaming. In fact, it is the future of computing on virtual reality.

"After games, we’re going to make Oculus a platform for many other experiences. Imagine enjoying a court side seat at a game, studying in a classroom of students and teachers all over the world or consulting with a doctor face-to-face — just by putting on goggles in your home.”
