‘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.”

Re: ‘Like hanging out in person’: Facebook launches new VR platform
all we need is screen wall paper.glue and stick.why the heavy head mount stuff?
but first we need fiber and switching.we are currently hindered by data usage.
the only real fiber systems in the usa are for spying on citizens.ran by local police and govs.
sure fb is cool and in emergencies,a great intel source.if the shtf it would help us link up with family.
i cant say it enough,without true unlimited data,these tech companies are spinning their wheels.

now on the side of tech.apps are the bomb.in just the last week ive learned to make gifs,overlay images,edit videos and add music to vids.
i can also monitor emf signals.
listen to music wirelessly using a blutooth music reciever.
if marky is gung ho.they should create a good casting tool to compete with chrome cast.sell a non invasive smart tv.
he just doesnt get it along with all these tech companies.we are tired of being spied on.how about the most secure phone on the planet.encryption to the max.secrets stimulate economies not homogenation of citizens.imho.
another great tech direction is food.he could make a dirt to table food automation system.from seed to plate.
seems he acts like a kid who has to have every new toy in his box.
instead of creating a whole enterprise thats always gonna be there.food is always gonna need to be created.bots bots bots!
and bots to fix the bots.which will all need data which circles back to fiber the planet!

FB will take this to a new level. This is just beta right now. They have much bigger plans.

Beta? Oculus has been in beta for years and years. It's essentially 5yrs old. In 2014 FB acquired it and has spent the last few yrs in court related to it and it's patents. John Carmack, the DOOM game creator is in there.

Bottom line, if you are wearing a shit head piece and hanging out with friends (as bunnies, avatars etc) is your beta product, this will never catch on. Just like it hasn't since the late 90's.

They've tried to stick shit on a wall since 2014 and will continue to do so. This "beta" product won't stick.

Remember 3D TV's?

This is how truly stupid Zuckerberg and his twisted NWO cohorts think most of the public is. In another article about this, Zuckerberg laughed and said in the future "staring at the wall is gonna be a big thing."

Another step toward total Idiocracy.

You're right, might as well spend my time inventing a blowjob/handjob-peripheral. I'm thinking fleshlight meets robot arm. Then you would need another peripheral for the other end that simulates a dick going in and out of the mouth/throat of the person on the other end.
