From
Gizmodo:
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg showed off the company’s experiments with
social virtual reality experiences that allow you to chat with your
friends using virtual avatars. It was really weird. The demo app allows
you to chat with avatars of your friends, travel to places like Mars or
Facebook’s Headquarters, and take virtual reality selfies to share to
Facebook.
[...]
Zuckerberg didn’t mention when the app would be available. It appears
this is just an experimental demo for now, which is fine, because we
don’t want to anything that works like this.
I've said repeatedly that VR's biggest problem is that it just isn't useful for anything that people will want to do, and it looks like that continues to be true. Because people aren't going to want to do this, no matter how badly Facebook wants their $2B investment in Oculus to boost their social media platform.
