Oculus made a couple of announcements today, including the acquisition of middleware game-network technology provider RakNet, which powers cross-platform voice chat, SQL logging, secure connectivity and more for a number of indie companies and bigger devs, including Mojang and Sony Online Entertainment. Oculus also announced its first developer conference, the Oculus Connect event, which will take place September 19 and 20 in Hollywood, Californian. Oculus Connect will give developers access to sessions with in-house Oculus engineers and other VR industry pioneers, including labs where devs can get direct feedback and hands-on time with their software and Oculus employers. The conference will begin accepting applications from perspective attendees on July 10, and will send confirmations to those accepted the following week.
