Facebook is developing virtual reality versions of its apps to support the virtual reality environment.
Facebook’s head of Product Chris Cox revealed the plans in an interview at the Code/Media conference being in California.
You realize, when you’re in it, that you’re looking at the future, and it’s going to be awesome. When you’re in Facebook, you’re just sending around these bits of experience — a photo, a video, a thought”, whereas with VR, you would be “sending a fuller picture”, said Cox.
Cox didn’t reveal details about the apps or give any indication about a release date. Facebook acquired virtual reality headset maker Oculus for $2 billion last year.
