Mark Zuckerberg: Facebook's VR project might include more realistic avatars
Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of the American company "Facebook" - the giant of the social networks - revealed that the new virtual reality project for the "Facebook" social network could include more realistic avatars.
Mark Zuckerberg - in an interview with the "The Information" technical site - gave more details of the social networking company's plans to explore virtual reality and augmented reality technologies via Oculus VR devices.
Zuckerberg said that realistic avatars can be a step forward from just contacting someone via phone or video chat, as his idea of these avatars included "real visual contact" and a display of the user's personality in front of others.
He added, "You will actually be able to interact with them. You will be able to take out games or other objects and create an instance of them as virtual objects and interact with them, get work done, play games together, and do all of that."
Zuckerberg indicated that "Facebook" is already looking to develop "Oculus Quest 3 and 4" headphones, with the aim of including "face tracking" and "eye movement tracking" features in future generations of those devices, saying: "If you are really excited about social presence," You want to make sure that the device has all the sensors that suit you from the realistic animated glyphs so that you can communicate well in this way. "
He pointed out that the "Facebook" social network is also working on developing new smart glasses.
"Facebook" announced last January that it plans to launch smart glasses this year through a partnership with glasses maker "Luxottica". The new glasses aim to help the wearer stay in touch and not miss the moments when he looks at the screen or while accessing his smartphone. .
