However, despite the advancements made by the scientists and engineers at the Oculus Research lab, there are only so much they can do. Facebook had recently decided to shut down around 200 of its 500 Oculus VR demo sites stationed at Best Buy locations across the country.

The closing of these demo stations was even confirmed by Andrea Schubert, spokeswoman for Oculus, stating that the decision was due to seasonal factors. It was reported that some of these store locations would even go for a couple of days without a single demonstration prompt. It was revealed that a memo sent to affected staff at particular Best Buy locations by a third-party representative that the stations would have to shut down due to "store performance."

Schubert is adamant that the closure of some of their demo stations are only a minor setback, and insists that a live demonstration is still the best way to showcase Oculus' products.
