Zuckerberg: the VR and AR devices of the future look like normal glasses

Zuckerberg has said during the F8 Developer Conference held yesterday in San Francisco, within a text to which you are dedicated for a long time, as he himself said.

Virtual reality and augmented reality has had an important role in Facebook's plans for the next 10 years, said the CEO of Facebook during the event. The Menlo Park company is developing a variety of social and entertainment experiences based on this type of devices.

As known, Facebook acquired Oculus VR for $ 2 billion, and last March 28 was ultimately the long-awaited debut on the Oculus Rift market. Samsung Gear VR, the mobile VR, is also built on Oculus technology and arrived on the market last November. According to Zuckerberg, both mobile VR VR that the PC will be the top priorities in the coming years.

The Gear VR users have seen a total of 2 million hours of virtual reality video, while VR thousands of apps are already available on various store. Over 50 games for Oculus Rift are available, while the expected Oculus Touch controller hit the market later this year and will offer "a new type of immersion". The controller Oculus Touch, in fact, will be used to reproduce the user's hands inside the virtual reality and thus enable him to interact more deeply, "feeling" their bodies.

During the event, Mark Zuckerberg also showed the first prototype of a 360-degree camera part of a 360-degree video capture system High Definition Surround called 360.

"The VR makes us feel as if we we were really getting together with another person," said the CEO of Facebook. "This is a kind of social experience already possible with today's technology."

In the future, thanks to devices that are aesthetically completely identical to normal glasses, we will not need to look at your smartphone or monitor to view the images. Shaking hands in front of the glasses will be able to manipulate, enlarge or shrink images, while an app that costs a dollar can simulate a full-screen TV in front of the eyes. "This is the foundation of our vision for the next 10 years," said Zuckerberg.
