In the future, sharing your vacation on Facebook might be completely different than merely posting photos. What if you could give your friends a tour of your hotel room or share a walk down the beach during sunset? Perhaps browse through Mariah Carey’s infamous closet or take a ride on the tallest waterslide? Take a ride with the Blue Angels? The Verge reports:
Facebook is building versions of its apps in virtual reality, according to Chris Cox, the company’s head of product. Speaking at Recode’s Code Media conference in Dana Point, CA, Cox told interviewer Peter Kafka that Facebook VR is on its way. “We’re working on apps for VR,” he said. Cox didn’t describe the apps in detail, but imagined a world where users will be able to share their current environment with other users using an app. He imagined that it could become an everyday way of sharing. “You’ll do it. Beyoncé will do it,” he said. (He was using Beyoncé as a generic example of a celebrity.)
Facebook purchased Oculus VR in March, 2015 for $2 billion.
