Oculus Security Is Super Tight. Just Ask Mark Zuckerberg. (Video)

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg knows everything about Facebook. Or does he?

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg knows everything about Facebook. Or does he?

Zuckerberg used the company’s live video feature to show off the new Oculus Rift virtual reality headset on Tuesday. But before unboxing the device, he tried to give viewers a little tour of Oculus’ office.

He didn’t get very far, though. That’s because he doesn’t have access to all of Oculus’ office, which he learned at the same time all of us did, thanks to the fact that he was broadcasting live.

After trying twice to get into a room with a giant “Stop — Do Not Enter” sign on the door, he smiled and said, “Apparently I do not have access to go into the vision lab yet.” Ha!

The video was intended to show off the new Rift headset alongside Oculus CEO Brendan Iribe. The Rift shipped for the first time last week.

Here’s the video. Fast forward to the 1:00 mark to see Oculus’ security in action.
