Facebook's AR/VR Demo Goes Beyond the Limits of Physical Screens
Laura McQuarrie — May 25, 2020 — Tech
At a time when many people are working on computers, laptops, tablets and phones at home, Facebook is reimagining what the future of work might look like with its mixed-reality workspace concept. Facebook imagined "a flexible and infinite workspace" that offers greater freedom beyond the typical constraints of a physical screen. The interface imagines seamless desktop integration, networked social features and an experience that lets people switch between real and virtual experiences with ease, all the while merging intuitive, familiar inputs like a keyboard and mouse with new methods with hand tracking.
In response to the global pandemic, Facebook is supporting even more productivity and collaboration apps on the Oculus Store to address the changing ways people are creating remotely.
