"When Facebook bought Oculus VR last week for $2 billion, many wondered if and how the social network could integrate the virtual reality experience into the social networking site.\nNow, a concept video by Chaotic Moon Studios shows what an Oculus Rift-powered Facebook experience might look like. Although the headset is largely designed for gaming \u2014 thanks to its fully immersive 3D experience that makes you feel like you're actually in games, physically dodging bullets or moving your head to see virtual panoramas \u2014 it also has huge potential for other applications, such as shopping and social experiences.\nSEE ALSO: What Is Oculus Rift \u2014 and Why Should You Care?\n\nThe concept video specifically looks at how a Facebook user could wear the Oculus Rift to enhance online shopping on the site. \nBy clicking on a Facebook ad for a purse, the person in the demo is prompted to connect his Oculus Rift headset to enter a 3D virtual Facebook market, where he could walk into an assortment of stores. The user selects Nordstrom and a satchel priced at $199. He is able to wave his hands to turn the bag to get a better look, video chat with a friend for advice and ultimately make a purchase.\n\nThe headset displays a fully immersive 3D experience that makes you feel like you are actually in the game.Image: Mashable,  Christina AscaniOverall, the video highlights a huge opportunity for both brands and advertisers. \nFollowing the announcement of the purchase, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg detailed why he was so eager to invest in the company, calling it a \"longterm bet on the future of computing.\"\n\"Oculus has the chance to create the most social platform ever, and change the way we work, play and communicate,\" he said.\nHave something to add to this story?
