Meta Platforms, Inc., simply known as Meta, is a American multinational technology conglomerate.
The conglomerate was originally founded on January 4, 2004 as TheFacebook Inc., before renamed to Facebook Inc., and its best known of the social website Facebook. In July 2012, a company named Oculus VR Inc. was founded and had been developing and producing virtual reality headsets. Oculus VR was later acquired by Facebook in 2014. In 2021, Facebook was renamed to its current corporate name Meta Platforms, Inc. and in the same year, the Oculus branding was mostly phased out. The old Oculus VR Inc, now a subsidiary company of Meta, was renamed to Reality Labs.
The company have several VR headsets: The Oculus Rift DK1 and CV1, Oculus Rift S, Oculus Quest, Meta Quest 2, Meta Quest Pro and a upcoming Meta Quest 3. Do note that Some VR games may only support the Rift DK1 and/or DK2, and not support the consumer VR headsets, and in that case, a third-party application LibOVRWrapper can make some DK1/DK2 games compatible with the consumer headsets. For standalone VR headsets, playing games from outside the Oculus Store requires enabling Unknown Sources
