One year after the acquisition of Oculus, the company that develops the familiar Oculus Rift virtual reality set, Facebook, it is known that the social networking king develops virtual reality applications that may include user-generated content; and by celebrities.
As reported in a Re/Code article, at the Code/Media conference in California, chief product officer, Chris Cox, revealed that the giant has ambitions in the field of Virtual Reality. “I mean, virtual reality is pretty cool. We're working on VR apps,” he told Peter Kafka, a member of the Re/Code editorial team. “You realize, when you're inside, that you're seeing the future, and it's going to be awesome.
When you're in Facebook, you just send these little comeyea of experience – a photo, a video, a thought," Cox said, adding that with VR one could send a "fuller picture." When asked if the general public will be able to produce virtual reality material, Cox answered in the affirmative. "You will too. And Beyonce will."
He didn't reveal much about exactly how users will produce material, which raises questions, as doing so would require a lot of cameras and particularly time-consuming production process. He also did not present a time frame, other than to say that this will be delayed, as "we are still a long way from everyone having such headsets."
