It stands out that Oculus has seen much controversy with the actions that it recently implemented. Moreover, the connection and similarities between Facebook and Oculus are escalating.
It stands out that the latest execution of the revised terms of service to accompany the release of the Oculus Rift virtual reality headset has resulted to issues pertaining to privacy and content ownership concerns, according to a post from Tech News.
The same site added on to note, "The terms of service also limit the ability to claim ownership of content created for the VR system, and by submitting to the user agreement, any application or other content a user creates would be granted for worldwide, irrevocable and perpetual use by Oculus royalty-free. In other words, any content created by users becomes the property of Oculus and with it on Facebook."
For the uninitiated, the Oculus software is installed on a user's computer, and it would then utilize the technology that grants any PC to watch what the headset does and sends the data back to Oculus framework, as reported by Mail Online.
In terms of being handy, the Oculus has the ability to grant it, but with its new user agreement policies, not everyone was thrilled. It seems that for most people, the agreement was not viable and acceptable. However, a rebuttal from Paul Teich who is part of the principal analyst at Tirias Research revealed that the matter is not something to create ruckus about. He understands the negative responses of the users but since the users are creating their data within the Oculus Rift service framework, there is no issue that should rise from it.
To confirm the latter, according to Teich, "Given that Oculus is owned by Facebook, I don't see much difference in these terms and Facebook's terms. The Oculus terms are more detailed but don't say anything different; Facebook privacy settings control how users distribute their content, but they don't block Facebook from using contributed IP as Facebook sees fit."
It appears that the system and the terms and condition set forth by Oculus will continue to be implemented. With Facebook shadowing the Oculus program and the policies continuing on, the rift is also anticipated to linger even longer.
