Facebook app for the F8 developer conference has accidentally leaked some of the show's presentations by sending details before the event. The notice revealed which products are likely to be discussed.
"F8: Just revealed: Parse of IoT, Messenger as a Platform, and the Teleportation Station," the message said, which several people re-published on Twitter. The two-day conference starts today Wednesday.
Parse is a Facebook development platform for creating mobile apps. The message, if it is correct, means that Facebook enters the Internet of Things (IoT), which aims to connect several other devices to the Web.
In recent weeks, enough media have speculated that Facebok will turn Messenger into a platform open to developers. This will allow developers to create additional features that will allow people to do more than send simple messages. Conversational chat applications, for example, allow users to play games without having to close the app.
The comment on the "Teleportation Station" feature is less clear. One possible scenario is that the new feature will bring the Oculus Rift virtual reality application, the startup the company bought last year, closer to Facebook members. The F8 conference has a session scheduled for Thursday called "Why Virtual Reality Will Matter To You" or "Why Virtual Reality Will Matter To You."
