A year after the purchase of Oculus, the company that develops the well-known virtual reality set Oculus Rift, by Facebook, it is known that the "king" of social networks is developing virtual reality applications, which may include material produced by users- or even from 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 are working on VR applications,” he told editorial board member Peter Kafka teamof Re/Code. “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 pieces of experience - a photo, a video, a thought, "said Cox, adding that with VR one could send a" more complete picture ". Asked if the general public could produce virtual reality material, Coke responded positively. "And you will do it. And Beyonce will do it. "
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."
