The world's largest social network has been considered to be late to recognize the transfer to mobile devices, and the company's revenue has only recently begun to recover from the late start.

Many in the industry believe that portable devices may represent the next major platform shift. Google Inc. has been testing Google Glass, stamp-sized electronic screen mounted on a pair of glasses for several years. Last week, it launched efforts to develop computer clocks.

On Tuesday, Facebook said virtual reality technology could emerge as the next social and communications platform.
“Our mission is to make the world more open and connected. For the past few years, this has mostly meant building mobile apps that help you share with the people you care about. We have a lot more to do on mobile, but at this point we feel we're in a position where we can start focusing on what platforms will come next to enable even more useful, entertaining and personal experiences.

This is where Oculus comes in. They build virtual reality technology, like the Oculus Rift headset. When you put it on, you enter a completely immersive computer-generated environment, like a game or a movie scene or a place far away. The incredible thing about the technology is that you feel like you're actually present in another place with other people. People who try it say it's different from anything they've ever experienced in their lives.

Oculus's mission is to enable you to experience the impossible. Their technology opens up the possibility of completely new kinds of experiences.

Zuckerberg said Facebook was not interested company and does not intend to try to make a profit from the sales of devices over a long period of time. Instead, he said, Facebook software and services, and continue to be used as the company's core activities can generate income for oculus devices through everything from advertising and sales of virtual goods.

While Oculus will operate as an independent company, Zuckerberg noted that Facebook plans oculus extended well beyond gaming.

Facebook recent acquisitions are a bit on the RBC Capital Markets analyst Mark Mahaney wrote in a note to investors on Tuesday. But he said that on Facebook the size of the company, the transaction did not seem “irrational”.
