Oculus co-founder and former CEO leaves Facebook now

Oculus co-founder and former CEO, Brendan Iribe, leaves the parent company Facebook. Iribe would be unhappy with the so-called Oculus Rift 2 virtual reality glasses removal project.

Iribe announces his departure on Facebook. Iribe founded the virtual reality company in 2012 with her former co-founder, Palmer Luckey.

Oculus Virtual Reality Glasses were a hit on Kickstarter's crowdfunding site. However, the first consumer version of the pair of glasses only appeared in 2016, two years after the acquisition of Oculus by Facebook for $ 2.4 billion.

Iribe was CEO of Oculus until 2016, then headed the Oculus PC branch. There was no new CEO. The new Oculus executive is Facebook's vice president of CEO, Mark Zuckerberg

. "End of Opposition to Oculus Rift 2" (19659006). The new version of this Oculus Rift for PC will be removed, reports the manager at TechCrunch . This is what would have motivated the departure of Iribe.

The co-founder and direction of Facebook would have "fundamentally different views on the future of Oculus". Facebook tells the site that the company is still working on a new version of the Rift.

In late September, Instagram co-founders resigned and WhatsApp founder Jan Koum left his company in April. Due to the decline in Facebook usage numbers and a series of scandals, the group needs to have more products and services.
