These are the news that will come to Facebook Stories
Table of contents:
We see how news arrive to the famous Instagram Stories. But this was not going to be the only social network that has improvements. Despite the fact that Facebook Stories are having all the expected success (at least for now), Mark Zuckerberg's social network has decided to to help make them a little more attractive to usersAnd that they finally achieve a penetration as intense as that achieved with the Stories of the network of filters.
Facebook wants to focus on this type of publication. So everything points to the fact that in the coming months, we will see materialized all these novelties that For now they are just hypotheses. Or that they are still on the test benches.
According to TechCrunch, Facebook could launch a new augmented reality (AR) system for Stories Something that , as can be seen in the video below, would allow you to draw 3D drawings on the reality that your camera provides through the screen.
Users of this new system will be able to scribble on the screen,both before and after a recording has been made. It would be enough to move the phone over the desired scene to draw on it. And then, of course, share the result with your followers and friends.
Augmented reality in Facebook Stories
At the moment we are facing technology in its infancy. Those who have tried it say that VR in Stories is still far from perfect What users can do right now is circle objects and draw lines on space.
But when interacting with the different elements, you may run into problems. The lighting conditions have to be optimal, otherwise the system will not be able to identify the different objects. And if you don't, it won't be possible to surround them with drawings or doodles either. This is the reality for today.
In any case, we are dealing with tools that give users more keys to creativity. And this can only be good, if it is about promoting the Stories. One of Facebook's product managers, John Barnett, explained to TechCrunch that the functionality will be available as soon as within the next few weeks So soon we will have the opportunity to test it.
It is expected that at launch, Facebook will be ready to add more plug-ins and options to this very feature.One of his intentions is to add more brushes, but we don't know if they will be available from the beginning. Or if we will have to wait for the functionality to be a bit more rolled out.
The Boomerang GIFs are also coming
Another interesting novelty has to do with the integration of Boomerang in the camera tool.
Not so long ago, Facebook gave users the ability to create looping GIFs. But it seems that these did not finish convincing the users.
Starting with this update, which is also expected to arrive in the next few weeks, users will have the opportunity to start creating videos from BoomerangAn option that you have already had available for a long time when creating Stories on Instagram.
This will actually be one of the options when capturing moving images. And this, logically, can be transferred to Facebook Stories.
