Yes, it is a sign that Facebook is all in for XR , as someone made me notice, but hiring 10,000 people and losing billions every year in R&D and hardware sold under cost wasn’t already a clear sign of it? Zuck also didn’t address much the theme of privacy and how much data harvesting in VR could be dangerous.

When game engines are used for VR, they have to include many new capabilities: stereo rendering, higher frame rate, distortion correction, latency control and more. A non-VR engine primarily interfaces with a game controller, keyboard and mouse. These are well-understood peripherals with standard software interfaces.
