From TechCrunch: ”
Today on stage at Oculus’ Connect conference, Mark Zuckerberg demonstrated a new social VR experience that overlays VR avatars of friends who are elsewhere on top of your vision so you can hang out together
Inside this social VR experience you can take real world scenes in the form of 360 photos, and visit them with your friends who appear as overlaid avatars in the scene. There, you can play games like chess or cards, sword fight with pre-made or DIY-drawn swords, or watch a giant TV screen together. You can even take a phone call inside Facebook Messenger, or take a VR selfie and instantly share it to Facebook.
You can express your emotions to friends by inputting button or gestural commands into the Oculus Touch controllers, and through sentiment analysis of your voice. [Correction: Oculus says these emotions weren’t based on facial tracking as we originally published, but instead on Oculus Touch controller inputs.] ”
