Day 1, as predicted, was pretty slow. There were some vague teases of announcements for tomorrow - most noticeably Facebook Social, which possibly will become a key part of Oculus' platform. There were also some trailers released for upcoming games. Most devs were just checking out demos. John Carmack did critique GearVR apps for a few hours. All the big stuff is coming tomorrow!
