Facebook-owned Oculus acquires Pebbles Interfaces, an Israeli motion-sensing technology company

Facebook-owned virtual reality (VR) startup Oculus has confirmed that it’s acquiring Pebbles Interfaces, a computer vision and depth-sensing technology company based in Israel.

Founded in 2010, Pebbles Interfaces develops advanced motion sensors that recreate physical objects within the digital realm, irrespective of the angle or range. It also claims to have no latency, which would be a major boost for Oculus and its virtual reality (VR) headset, expected to launch to the public in 2016.
