Facebook working on AR & VR, building its own consumer hardware
By MYBRANDBOOK
According to The Information, Facebook has planned an aggressive strategy of building its own consumer hardware to cut the dependence on Apple and Google. About 10,000 Facebook employees -- almost a fifth of its total workforce -- are currently working in the augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) labs, clearly indicating that the social network has bet really big on the immersive technology.
Facebook currently has a global workforce of 58,604 (as of December 31, 2020), an increase of 30 per cent year-over-year.
Facebook-owned Oculus virtual reality (VR) headsets captured 53 per cent of the extended reality (XR) headset shipments in 2020 which declined 9 per cent (on-year), according to a new report.
The improved specifications like increased memory, larger battery life, and higher resolution and refresh rate, at an affordable price point were the clear drivers for Oculus growth.
Earlier this week, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said he is aiming to introduce more realistic digital avatars for users of VR headsets with eye and face tracking, in order to create a better social experience into the device. He said that Facebook's Oculus VR headsets in the future will give users a more real-life immersive experience. This was the news about Facebook AR VR
