Facebook owned company Oculus has bought up Israeli-founded Pebbles Interfaces in a deal supposedly worth around $60 million. Pebbles interfaces specialises in custom optics, sensor systems and algorithms to detect and track hand movement. The acquisition of the Israeli firm is part of Facebook’s push into artificial intelligence (AI). In May, Oculus acquired Surreal Vision, a company that transforms physical spaces into VR worlds. Oculus revealed its own brand of motion controllers back in June.
