to Say that Facebook can also transform into a new virtual world might sound odd and redundant to some. That was what he set out to Mark Zuckerberg when he presented a demo of the social network to the viewer of virtual reality Rift developers conference Connect Oculus .

The co-founder of the company put to the test on the interactions most common of the social network, such as to converse with other users, each one with its animated version, share a video on line or play cards in different physical spaces simulated in the virtual world of Oculus.

so strange that it can be this intersection of virtual worlds, the co-founder of the company got in touch with his wife through a video call in a virtual reality environment to demonstrate the capabilities of the virtual world of Oculus Rift.

in Addition to curious demonstration, Zuckerberg promises that Oculus plans to release a next generation of viewers portable, you do not need a connection to a PC, with an operation that resembles the viewer HoloLens Microsoft.

In turn, the co-founder of Facebook announced that Oculus tendrpa a cheaper version of their viewer Rift, which will cost $ 499 and will support a configuration of the personal computer more wide.

More economic, the renewed viewer Rift presented will require a computer with a dual-core processor Core i3 Intel and a graphic board Nvidia GTX 960. The goal is that the viewer can work with laptops in the medium term.

The developer conference also served to introduce a special headset to be used with the viewer Oculus Rift, with features similar to models that cost $ 900, but that will have a starting price of about $ 49.

in Addition to ads and projects that it plans to launch in the next few years, Oculus confirmed the release of Oculus Touch, the control command that allows the user to have an interaction more fluid with the spaces of virtual worlds. Will be available in December at $ 199, or up to 798 usd with the new version of the viewer Rift.
