Four Fantastic Futuristic Projects to Be Released By Facebook in the Next Decade

2 AR and VR computing with regular sized glasses and virtual space

With the purchase of Occulus in 2014 and the release of Oculus products in 2016, Facebook plans to make AR and VR devices as small as your regular sized glasses. Facebook plans to go beyond just gaming and make VR and AR a social platform where you can interact wearing these headsets on social platforms such as Facebook, WhatsApp and Pinterest.

Moreover, as part of even more ambitious Facebook futuristic projects, the company wants to be able to provide a virtual get together experience where you could even catch up with a friend in another city through virtual reality. The technology would use a dome studded with 500 cameras called a panoptic studio where images would be captured in 3D. This would herald a new era of virtual social reality.

3 Artificial intelligence

Facebook has lined up several new projects that involve using artificial intelligence in various applications and functions. From regular bots that perform tasks to those who can interact and provide business suggestions that enable faster business decisions and even more powerful voice recognition software. Facebook’s goal is to eventually enable computers to have meaningful conversations with humans. The man behind Facebook AI program is Yann Le Cunn who runs FB’s AI research called FAIR.

In case you didn’t know it, AI is already integrated with FB messenger to enable users to enjoy every possible feature of the platform rather than for it to remain just a chatbox. Called “M” the FB messenger AI feature will suggest answers, responses and even post emojis to chats for you preempting your requirements based on your usage behavior. Presently “M’ is available for users in the US only.
