As we know, Facebook has big plans for Oculus Rift, bought two billion euros in 2014. If the virtual reality helmet should primarily focus on the games, the most logical development, the social network wants to go further by addressing the tourism education sectors, but not only …
Flirting with science fiction, Facebook has evoked a draft “teleportation”. Obviously, this is not to make real Star Trek technology but to use as a support Oculus Rift to travel and meet people virtually without moving. “Facebook wants to build a device that will allow you to be where you want, with anyone, regardless of geographic boundaries,” said Mike Schroepfer, CEO of social network technology at a press conference relayed Business Insider by the site.
“Schroepfer foresees a future where Oculus will be able to fool your senses for they think that his virtual world is real, imitating the world around you in real time, and also giving people the ability to create whatever they imagine in 3D “, our colleagues comment.
Obviously, the technological challenges to achieve this goal are very numerous, and the use of the term “teleportation” is exaggerated (do we know whether it will be possible one day) and does not even know if they are attainable. Moreover, Facebook and his partner give time if Occulus Rift to be launched next year, the project “virtual teleportation” would not be completed before 2025.
