As most of have seen, Johnny Depp is featured in a new upcoming movie called “Transcendence.” This is about a Doctor whose goal of creating a sentient machine, to prevent a world where computers can transcend the abilities of the human brain. When I watched the trailer, it reminded me of Facebooks latest purchase. The social media giant spent $2 billion on Oculus VR, a company that makes virtual reality goggles. CEO Mark Zuckerberg will focus on games first and then focus on future platforms. Such as classroom experience, consulting with a doctor face-to-face, and etc. Zuckerberg quotes “this is really a new communication platform,” where people can truly feel present, and imagine sharing experiences and adventures. Facebook is not the only company investing in new technology, but Sony revealed to have its own virtual reality headset and Microsoft has recently expressed interest in the technology as well. The huge purchase shows that every major tech company is making entering a new world of technology.
i wrote about this too! i think they’re trying to expand to movie watching experiences.
It looks (and sounds) like they’re aiming to make future technology as interactive and widespread as possible while offering the user comfort in their own area (even though this has already been done, they’re aiming to develop this idea even further)
