Virtual reality headset maker Oculus used stolen computer code a US court has heard, as a jury awarded $500 million (€460 million) to ZeniMax Media. Facebook bought the company in 2014 for $2 billion, putting it at the forefront of the virtual reality boom.
The verdict in a Dallas federal court is a rebuke to Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg, who isn’t a defendant but who told jurors in his first-ever courtroom testimony that it was important for him to be there because the claims by ZeniMax were “false”. A spokeswoman for Oculus said the company will appeal.
