A year after buying Oculus, the companys that develops the well-known virtual reality set Oculus Rift, from Facebook, it is known that the "king" of social networks is developing virtual reality applications, which may include material produced by users - or even 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 pieces of experience – a photo, a video, a thought,” Cox said, adding that with VR one could send a “more complete 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 footage, which raises questions, as it would require multiple cameras and a particularly time-consuming process to produce.treatments. 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."
