    Virtual reality has been getting all the buzz in Silicon Valley and on Wall Street since Facebook announced it was scooping up Oculus, a start-up with a new kind of virtual reality goggles. But Hollywood wants a piece of the action too. Now the tightly knit community of virtual reality developers in Southern California are suddenly hot. Gideon Brower, with KCRW's Independent Producer Project, has the story. (To see photos from the conference, including those stylish Oculus Rift goggles, go to the Which Way, LA? blog.)
