Facebook hold your next meeting vr free#
He is convinced that VR will evolve into a technology that reshapes the way people interact and experience life, much like Facebook and smartphones already have. On Thursday, Facebook ( FB) unveiled Horizon Workrooms, a free app for users of its Oculus Quest 2 headset, a device that starts at 299. That's how much the Facebook CEO shelled out in 2014 to purchase Oculus from its founders (for comparison's sake Facebook paid $1 billion for Instagram). "The problem is you will be spending that money on a device that only does VR and nothing else." VR is a $2 billion gamble that Zuckerberg wants to pay off Despite its bleak origins, tech executives speak optimistically about what such a metaverse could be, with Facebook going so far as to create a Metaverse product group under Bosworth. "The strategy for Facebook is to make the onboarding to VR as easy and inexpensive as possible," he said. The term draws inspiration from a decades-old dystopian sci-fi idea for a virtual world that provides an escape from the realities of everyday life. Gartner analyst Brian Blau said there's still one hurdle the Oculus Go will have to overcome. As it eyes the next stage of digital connection, and in alignment with evolving business practices, Facebook has today announced a new Horizon Workrooms VR collaboration space, which it says is ‘one of the best ways to work if you can’t be physically together’. He wants a future where VR allows us work in offices like the one from Minority Report, instead of awkwardly waggling about while attached to a PC. I am a little astonished at Facebook’s ambition and vision announced at F8 2018, the annual developer conference of Facebook held in McEnery Convention Center, San Jose, because the concept presented in VR/AR part of the keynotes was pretty similar to mine Xentity AR.
Mr Zuckerberg shared the story of Dorothy Howard, an elderly woman who can't travel because of her health, who now uses VR to go on a holiday anywhere in the world. The beta test of Facebooks Horizon Workrooms app comes as many companies continue to work from home after the COVID-19 pandemic shut down physical workspaces. "If you can't think of any way that your reality could be better, then you're not thinking hard enough," he said. Facebook Inc on Thursday launched a test of a new virtual-reality remote work app where users of the companys Oculus Quest 2 headsets can hold meetings as avatar versions of themselves. Here's what Zuckerberg said during his keynote: The trouble is, it still only does one thingįacebook wants you to take a holiday in VR. Read the discussion in the comments to see what others thought about VR headsets. We didn't get any of the technical specs, so we don't know exactly how the Oculus Go will work.Īll we know is it'll have an LCD screen and include built-in speakers so you won't need headphones to use it.
