After spending a couple weeks researching and testing out the Oculus Rift, I put together a "Quick Facts" printable for an executive presentation. It seemed to be a hit, so I've turned it into a digital infoposter! Included is a timeline, campaign and acquisition numbers, simulation sickness information, supported platforms, and general terminology. Sources can be found at the bottom as well.

Your brain thinks you are moving because of what your eyes see, while your body senses everything is still and the inner ear feels nothing.
