‘Like hanging out in person’: Facebook launches new VR platform

Facebook have revealed their first attempt at integrating the social network’s platform with virtual reality in an effort to give users a new way to hang out with their friends.
“Facebook Spaces” was unveiled at the company’s annual developer conference on Tuesday. It will allow those who own virtual reality headsets to build personalized cartoonish-looking avatars from their recently tagged photos.

They can then invite other friends to hang out in “spaces” where they can have virtual reality chats. Facebook describe it as a “VR app where you hang out with friends in a fun, interactive virtual environment as if you were in the same room.”

Facebook’s Bizarre VR App Is Exactly Why Zuck Bought Oculus

When Facebook bought Oculus in 2014, the obvious question—besides “Seriously? Two billion dollars?”—was what Facebook was planning to do with a virtual reality company. CEO Mark Zuckerberg said at the time that VR would be “the most social platform ever,” but what would that mean?

By leveraging Facebook’s ubiquity in day-to-day life, Spaces promises to make virtual reality more personal, and more relatable, than it’s ever been.

Re: ‘Like hanging out in person’: Facebook launches new VR platform
Lets hang out in virtual reality together instead of in reality together.

The sad thing is it will probably be a big success.
We do not learn from history because our studies are brief and prejudiced. In a surprising manner, 250 years emerges as the average length of national greatness. This average has not varied for 3,000years. The stages of the rise and fall of great nations seem to be:
The Age of Pioneers , The Age of Conquests ,The Age of Commerce ,The Age of Affluence ,The Age of Intellect ,The Age of Decadence.
Decadence is marked by: Defensiveness, Pessimism, Materialism,Frivolity An influx of foreigners The Welfare State A weakening of religion. Decadence is due to: Too long a period of wealth and power, Selfishness Love of money ,The loss of a sense of duty.
The life histories of great states are amazingly similar, and are due to internal factors. Their falls are diverse, because they are largely the result of external causes. - Sir John Glubb The Fate of Empires
We are at the end of the Age of Decadence heading into COLLAPSE

I suppose it could have its advantages, but with all this FB live crap, it doesn't seem like good timing to announce it anyway.

Nah that would be to real. 400lbs fat boy will have an avatar like Arnauld. Some will have animal heads and all that other shit. Then people will only want to be in the virtual world. They will waste away inside their homes.

I just finished reading Philip K Dick's Flow my tears the Policeman said - in it they hook up into some kind of virtual world for sex parties and orgies and stuff, they describe it as very addictive and that it will rob you of your life essence and basically drain you of your youth kind of sucking you dry of vitality till you die.

So like that?
