Facebook CEO Zuckerberg Releases New Software That Puts Users In A Virtual World by Tedassie(m): 11:06am On Oct 08, 2016 |
***************************** Facebook has released its new Virtual Reality software on Thursday which places users into a virtual world as an avatar and allows them to interact with each other. Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, showed the new software at the Oculus Connect conference in San Francisco,California. The new software allows people to customize their avatars, share videos and take webcam calls from non-VR participants. Facebook is working to develop third party VR software as well as its own projects, Zuckerberg said at the conference. https://mobile.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=639457419549366&substory_index=0&id=432549720240138&refid=17&_ft_=top_level_post_id.639457419549366%3Atl_objid.639457419549366%3Athid.432549720240138%3A306061129499414%3A69%3A0%3A1477983599%3A-244143208304880547&__tn__=%2As https://z-p3-scontent-lax3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/fr/cp0/e15/q65/14494869_639457419549366_5180995555332303413_n.png.jpg?efg=eyJpIjoiYiJ9&oh=8d346e21d4f7f4e15416d6ae5a4a05e8&oe=5875E804 CC: mkmyers45, UjSizzle CC: Lalasticlala
