Facebook’s VR App will be launched “as soon as possible,” He further added. Facebook wants to give its users the new VR experiences quickly to get their feedback and improve further.
Facebook’s social VR team has experimented with several online experiences focused on socializing, online interaction with friends etc. Facebook has scrapped virtual gaming activities and will focus on connecting people virtually. As reported by RoadtoVR.
Facebook’s VR App will change the way we interact with our friends and may even make messenger apps obsolete. It is long before we get a perfect social VR app but may not be as long as you think.
