Facebook preparing for virtual reality on your feed.
Facebook is building versions of its apps in virtual reality, according to Chris Cox, the company’s head of product. Speaking at Recode’s Code Media conference in Dana Point, CA, Cox told interviewer Peter Kafka that Facebook VR is on its way. “We’re working on apps for VR,” he said. Cox didn’t describe the apps in detail, but imagined a world where users will be able to share their current environment with other users using an app. He imagined that it could become an everyday way of sharing. “You’ll do it. Beyoncé will do it,” he said. (He was using Beyoncé as a generic example of a celebrity.)
But don’t expect them any time soon. “A while” is as specific as Cox would get when asked to suggest when we might be able to try Facebook in virtual reality. “We’re a long way away from everyone having those headsets,” he said.
