Super excited to get friends and family excited about VR without them needing to own an expensive VR setup.
Looks great and I'm excited to use a variation of this in the future but I can't see people using this in its current form #FacebookSpaces
Can't wait to try this - what an amazing opportunity to complement / enhance our interactions in real live!
The emphasis on social and grounding a virtual world to the real world people graph is going to go a long way in increasing accessibility of the medium. Experiences without others as an escape from the real world will only go so far. Very cool effort here!
That's FB vs Snap in essence.
Facebook = alternative reality
Snap = augmented reality.
Peculiar shit.
Exciting experiment in VR by Facebook.
'Spaces represents the first .1% of Facebook’s vision for Social VR'. Eventually, Facebook wants to be a Google in the VR space...

The Singularity is moving closer each day. The exciting part of this technology advancement is the ability to network and engage from a distance virtually. The concerning part is spending so much time in VR that you forget that your REAL world is one that needs you most.
@rrhoover Having just reread it, it's remarkable how close we're getting especially with Haptic gloves/suits in development too (by other companies)
@rrhoover Yeah, but with one big difference: pseudonymity. A key aspect of the OASIS was that people could be anyone they wanted to be in VR. Facebook is intent on you staying "you." How else will they monetize you?
