Oculus

Circular roof opening

Oculus is a virtual reality technology company, now owned by Meta, known for its VR headsets.

The Oculus Rift pioneered consumer virtual reality gaming, and the Oculus Quest line made wireless VR mainstream.

I bought an Oculus to play Beat Saber.

The name comes from the Latin word for eye. (Lowercase oculus is a circular architectural opening.)
