The social media giant is taking steady steps towards virtual evolution Facebook. Can our "virtual social life" that we continue to post with unbridled enthusiasm on the most popular social network acquire even more virtual dimensions? Apparently it can, since the latest "status" want the American giant to have already begun work, and indeed at a feverish pace, to transfer the applications of the medium to the realm of virtual reality.."Imagine being able to share with your online friends, beyond individual moments, complete experiences and adventures," CEO Mark Zuckerberg had said characteristically when the company acquired the manufacturer of the famous Oculus Rift "glasses" in 2014 for 2 billion dollars (approximately 1.7 billion euros), clearly demonstrating that it has already "ignited" the flirtation with the idea of virtual reality.
Verification of the new perspective came from the mouth of the giant's head of product, Chris Cox, at the Code Media conference of the technology website Recode, who emphasized, among other things, "We are currently working on developing virtual reality applications. However, we still have a long way to go, as the device is not widely available at the moment.".
Of course, the company's strategic move could be described as expected, since all the major technology companies are turning towards the "virtual" direction, announcing their plans one after the other. Indicative examples could be Samsung's virtual reality "mask", Gear VR, which hosts the company's Galaxy Note 4 smartphone, as well as the possibility of combining the G3 mobile phone with the VR for G3 device, based on LG's Google Cardboard.
