I am a hardcore fan of science fiction novels and movies. And the joys of a Sci-Fi addict is seeing what belongs to fiction become non-fiction. Once upon a time, holograms were unthinkable. And now? We got 'em. Teleportation also, was only allowed in Sci-Fi but Facebook is reaching to draw it into reality - well, not entirely though. The company is talking about making a device that functions as a teleporter.


Facebook's CTO(Chief Technical Officer), Mike Schroepfer stated that Facebook is planning to, in his words, "effectively build a teleporter", in a matter of 10 years. He said that the company wants to make a device that lets you be anywhere you want, with anyone you wanna be with, not minding the geographic limitations.

WHERE THE BUBBLE BURSTS

As much as we all want a teleporter, this is not a physical teleporting device i.e it doesn't move you from one place to the other physically. Instead, its creates a simulation so advanced that it tricks your mind and senses into believing that you are actually where you wanna be - crazy!

To obtain this device, Virtual Reality(VR) application would be present in its development. Oculus headsets and its touch controller would be involved. The tech media giant is planning on developing the Oculus a whole lot more.

It plans on tweaking the headsets to be able to to trick your mind and senses into thinking that the Virtual Reality location you currently see is real. I'm really not sure how Facebook intends to achieve this but my fingers are crossed.

Will you rock this device in the next 10 years (If it comes out)?

Note: Oculus Headsets are virtual reality headsets that creates a sense of the real world in a three-dimensional world. Mainly used for playing VR games.
