Facebook is building Ready Player One's OASIS. 😎 Excited to play with this.

@rrhoover Having just reread it, it's remarkable how close we're getting especially with Haptic gloves/suits in development too (by other companies)

@rrhoover I was literally about to post that, but not in a positive way :)

@rrhoover I was waiting for this.... I have prepared a new technology wide-angle selfie - @panoLite )) for remind friends that there is a real world)))
Sarah A. Downey
@rrhoover Yeah, but with one big difference: pseudonymity. A key aspect of the OASIS was that people could be anyone they wanted to be in VR. Facebook is intent on you staying "you." How else will they monetize you?

This is soooo Black Mirror

Facebook Spaces is a much friendlier interpretation of The Matrix than the movie.

@kimpham404 VR and corgi's with Upload VR this Thursday if you're around!

That's FB vs Snap in essence. Facebook = alternative reality Snap = augmented reality. Peculiar shit.

Looks great and I'm excited to use a variation of this in the future but I can't see people using this in its current form #FacebookSpaces

Nice one, but those avatars look awful. 3D avatars aren't really a new thing - Sims and 1st person games in general, online chats like Second Life and IMVU all have them and they make these look really bad. Not sure if the lack of quality is caused by restraints of current VR gear?

Exciting experiment in VR by Facebook. 'Spaces represents the first .1% of Facebook’s vision for Social VR'. Eventually, Facebook wants to be a Google in the VR space... More on The Verge: https://www.theverge.com/platfor...

@aleks_muse The Verge? 😜😊

The avatars in Facebook Spaces look like Wii/Yahoo avatars.

Love the tech, but this is just sad.

The emphasis on social and grounding a virtual world to the real world people graph is going to go a long way in increasing accessibility of the medium. Experiences without others as an escape from the real world will only go so far. Very cool effort here!

It's remarkable how similar this is to the original Google Glass video...
Justin Mitchell
Super excited to get friends and family excited about VR without them needing to own an expensive VR setup.

looks really cool, but just a bit goofy with the big gear, I'll wait a few years till this gets down to a pair of glasses 😎

CNET journalist @lexysavvides's tweet was a pretty funny take on it: https://twitter.com/lexysavvides...

This is really cool! But.. scary in some way. Imagine you will only be meeting your spouse/partner in the virtual world who could be physically 10k miles away. In 10 yrs, people will stop going out of their homes. And we will be in the matrix.

Can't wait to try this - what an amazing opportunity to complement / enhance our interactions in real live!
