With the advent of Virtual Reality glasses such as the Gear VR of the company Samsung or the famous Oculus Rift that acquireditself Facebook, it's no wonder they're running all sorts of experiments and creating tools to fill with content these virtual worlds that are accessed by putting this type of device in front of your eyes.What is surprising is that even the social network Facebook is considering bringing versions of its applications to These devices. Being able to see a wall in Virtual Reality? Enjoy content being shared and published in an immersive environment? It seems that there is no definite answer yet, although it is being searched for.
The confirmation comes from the hands of Facebook production manager, Chris Cox, who spoke on the subject at the media conferenceRecode in California last day. At the moment it is only known that Facebook “is working on Virtual Reality applications”, without knowing specific details about what applications they are, or what are their possibilities and objectives Only that we will have to wait a long time to be able to enjoy it. And it is that even the Oculus Rift glasses are under development before they begin to be commercialized.It seems like a safe bet for the world's largest social networking company, though.
In the words of Cox only reference was made to the possibility of compshare the environment of the user, beyond a content. Something that, according to him, even the singer Beyoncé would do, using her as an example for the usefulness of these Virtual Reality applications. And it is that users would prefer these more complete and immersive experiences than a mere photograph or video to use. However, they are nothing more than conjectures, without knowing their true possibilities yet. Whether these are share photos that can be seen in full detail by turning your head towards the place you want to frame, created content especially for these glasses or any other format that can be created and shared through the applications that are being developed.Issues that we will still have to wait to discover and, even more, to enjoy.
However, this only reaffirms the strong interest of Facebook for the future, in which Virtual Reality glasses will be more than present And it is that, after disbursing 2 billion dollars last year to get the Oculus glasses, it seems willing to create its own content to get the most out of this device. A vision of the future that involves having their own applications, although still without knowing if they will be part of the social network, their messaging tools or completely different issues and others.
Meanwhile, other companies like Samsung are going their own way with their own product, now claiming to have started selling their Gear VR what kind of content will populate these interesting devices of Virtual Reality, looking for the killer application or the star tool that conquers users and convinces them to get these glasses.
