After leaving Google (GOOGL, Tech30) nearly four years ago to work at Chinese startup Xiaomi, the tech executive is returning to Silicon Valley to become head of virtual reality at Facebook (FB, Tech30). Facebook spent around $2 billion in 2014 to buy virtual reality gaming company Oculus VR, with Zuckerberg saying at the time it would help his company build a "new communication platform." He reiterated that view on Wednesday, declaring that virtual and augmented reality will "enable us to experience completely new things and be more creative than ever before."
