"We could do inside-out on a mobile phone, but we don't think it's necessarily the best product we could bring to market with Gear VR," says Mitchell. What technological hurdles are left before Oculus can bring a product like Santa Cruz to market? Even more reliable tracking and comfort, says Mitchell. "We want to continue to increase that robustness so that generally whenever you pull this thing out, it works 95 percent of the time," he says.

Snap Inc. CEO Evan Spiegel hasn't been shy about IPO plans in the past. Last month, the company unveiled Spectacles, video camera-equipped sunglasses that let people shoot videos to be uploaded to Snapchat.

In fact, on its corporate website Snap refers to itself as "a camera company."Snap, whose Snapchat app has 150 million daily users, could use some of the IPO proceeds for acquisitions in the realm of virtual reality or augmented reality, according to the Journal.
The 26-year-old Spiegel has not been shy about his ambition to take the company public, "We really need an IPO," he said at Recode's Code conference last year, "We have a plan for that."A Snap spokesman said the company isn't commenting on "rumors or speculation about any financing plans."An IPO would be an important step in Los Angeles-based Snap's effort to compete with the Silicon Valley tech giants, The company already spurned Facebook's 2013 takeover bid, worth at case for apple iphone x and xs - navy blue least $3 billion, Since then, Facebook, flush with cash, has made a habit of cranking out knockoffs of Snapchat's most popular features..
In August, Facebook-owned Instagram unveiled Instagram Stories, which let people post a string of videos and pictures that disappear after 24 hours. The feature is a dead-on clone of Snapchat Stories. On Thursday, Instagram said the feature already has 100 million daily viewers.

But it's still unclear if Snapchat is profitable.
