Facebook acquired virtual reality (VR) startup Oculus for $2 billion two years ago, and it was one of the many indicators that the digital experience frontier was about to change forever. In fact, VR hardware and software generated over $90 million in U.S. revenue in 2014, and that number has already grown to $2.3 billion in 2015 and a projected $5.2 billion by 2018.
