It is being developed by Oculus VR, which has raised US $91 million, of which $2.4 million was raised with crowdfunding via Kickstarter. The company was founded by Palmer Luckey and Scaleform co-founders Brendan Iribe and Michael Antonov, as well as Nate Mitchell. id Software co-founder John Carmack was later hired as its Chief Technology Officer.
Recently, Marc Andreessen joined the company's board when his firm Andreessen Horowitz led the $75 million Series B venture funding.
On March 25, 2014, Oculus VR, Inc. was purchased by Facebook for US$2 billion.
The consumer version of the product is expected (but not confirmed) to become available in late 2014 or early 2015.
