Facebook plans to allow users to be more immersed in virtual reality interactive content through virtual reality headsets. Therefore, it announced that next year it will release more comfortable mask cushions and accessories that can hold the controller more stably. Users can more easily exercise and fitness through virtual reality headsets such as Oculus Quest 2, and will also cooperate with Rockstar Games to launch the classic virtual reality game “Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas” (Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas). Theft Auto: San Andreas).
In the Connect 2021 event, Facebook not only emphasized once again that it will expand the “metaverse” layout, but also emphasized that it does not want to create a platform like Facebook, but to expand such application scenarios, so that the interaction of virtual and real integration will be changed. Take it for granted.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckberg said that as in the past, the Facebook service connected people to interact online. It has been affected by the epidemic over the past year and has made people accustomed to interacting through online forms. Therefore, it is expected that more interactive modes will be adopted in the future. It is done online, and how to make people communicate more intuitively has become the focus of future development.
Through virtual vision, it is obviously an important key to Facebookâs future layout of virtual and real integration. It is believed that virtual reality will be an easier way for people to participate in remote scenes under the Internet connection. At the same time, many people can also use mobile phones and so on. The faster interaction between the device and the virtual reality scene is expected to become the way more people are accustomed to communication in the future.
In Facebook’s view, in the future, there will not only be one “meta universe” developing, but more “meta universes” will interact with each other. How to enable people to communicate in a more natural and intuitive way becomes even more important. Therefore, how to use the avatar representing the individual across different service platforms, and even allow users to own specific digital items through the NFT form, will also become a future development issue.
In this announcement, Facebook plans to extend the Horizon virtual interactive space proposed in the past. In addition to the recently announced Horizon Workrooms, it also expands Horizon Home and Horizon World, and adds more customized designs so that everyone can create their own personal It belongs to the virtual home environment, and can invite friends to “home” as guests, parties, and even allows Horizon Workrooms to be customized according to the corporate brand.
As for the interactive part, currently during the use of Oculus virtual reality headsets, you can also receive voice calls through Messenger, or interact by voice control, and enhance the gesture recognition operation function, and it can also be used in virtual reality. Using services such as Slack and Dropbox allows users to maintain the same working mode in the virtual reality environment as in the real world.
In addition, Facebook also plans to allow users to be more immersed in virtual reality interactive content through virtual reality headsets. Therefore, it announced that it will launch a more comfortable mask cushion next year and a more stable grip controller. Accessories make it easier for users to exercise and fitness through virtual reality headsets such as Oculus Quest 2, and at the same time, it is more certain to further strengthen the game content that more people prefer. For example, it will cooperate with Rockstar Games to launch a virtual reality game. The classic game “Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas” (Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas), and has previously cooperated with CAPCOM to create a virtual reality version of “Evil Castle 4”.
Regarding the development of the “meta universe”, Mark Zuckberg believes that it will focus on personal experience, virtual portraits, personal virtual spaces, rapid transmission, interaction, and natural operation interfaces. At the same time, it will also focus on privacy and tolerance, and even implement technologies such as NFT. The development idea of ââprivatization of digital goods.
In order to achieve these goals, many key factors will be involved, such as mixed reality, sound, display, input, hand tracking, eye tracking, and even through more artificial intelligence, sensor components, computer vision, and perception science. Such technologies construct a virtual interactive environment. Therefore, Facebook does not believe that it can build a platform suitable for everyone. Instead, it hopes to attract more people to build different “meta universes”, and then form a larger virtual environment interactive scene through series connection.
