How the Facebook AR glasses work?

AR, as compared to VR, is based on overlaying computer-generated sound, videos, and images over real-world content. In Facebook AR glasses, the waveguide display uses scanning mirrors, lasers, and other elements to present sound and images. The videos and images will be displayed or projected to the user's eyes by the light emitted to the display through a laser. In future, the users will also experience the sound coordinated through the headphones or earphones

What is Spaces?

The new social platform with the name of spaces has been recently launched by Facebook Oculus Rift Headset. Using this you can interact with other users and even post photographs and live videos to your Facebook profile.

Spaces App has been described by Facebook as a virtual environment where you can interact with friends as if in the same physical space.

The concept of Virtual reality, Augmented Reality and mixed reality is gaining popularity day by day. In fact, the trend would be a complete shift towards these technologies as early as 2020, as per the experts at Oculus.

All the major game players in the technology sector are working in this regard in their own capacity. Many gadgets and apps have been launched marking steps taken towards bringing virtual and augmented reality to the local users. VR and AR have been a fascinating topic for many decades now and this is becoming a reality that can be used by common users. Tech Giants like Google, Microsoft, and Apple have been working on these lines. In fact, they have even launched glasses and headset gear to give the users a taste of what is coming in the future.


This venture by Facebook or other companies can open new doors to the AR development. Bringing social media into the world of Virtual and Augmented reality is a brilliant concept which is futuristic next generation in the field of technology.
