Instagram launches.
Invented by: Kevin Systrom

Windows 10 is released.
Invented by: Microsoft Corporation.

Oculus Quest is released.
Invented by: Oculus (Division of Meta)
One of the first in it's class of affordability with performance, the Oculus Quest would go to bring great success in the ever growing VR market. The Quest would allow those who don't have access to a high-end PC (and VR) to instead opt and have all of the computing power inside of the headset itself. VR would only continue to grow after this with more plans from Oculus and other companies for more powerful headsets.
