The Oculus

The Oculus refers to a circular opening or window, often found in architecture. A well-known example is the Oculus of the Pantheon in Rome, which allows light to enter and creates a connection between the interior and the sky. In modern contexts, Oculus is also the name of a virtual reality company, known for creating VR headsets like the Oculus Rift, which immerse users in digital environments. Both meanings emphasize connection: the architectural Oculus connects spaces, while the technology connects users to immersive experiences.
