Oculus VR continua a fare incetta di nuovi elementi per ampliare il proprio organico, e a quanto pare ha una certa tendenza a cercare personaggi con un'importante esperienza in ambito videoludico, a partire da Valve e altre grosse compagnie di caratura simile.
Il nuovo acquisto di queste ore è Jason Holtman, che ha ricoperto il ruolo di business director in Valve fino a febbraio 2013, ed è successivamente passato per un breve periodo a Microsoft. A quanto pare, il suo nuovo ruolo in Oculus VR riguarderà "lo sviluppo del business e delle partnership con un focus sulla costruzione del migliore ecosistema VR per sviluppatori e giocatori", nientemeno. Oculus ha peraltro pubblicato l'elenco dei membri del suo "dream team" al lavoro sulla tecnologia VR, ecco cosa riporta il sito:
