Virtual Reality Of The Online Game
On 5 May, Director General Oculus VR Brendan Iribe, in the context of TechCrunch Disrupt in New York, presented his plans to cooperate with the social network. The company expects to use the widest Facebook user audience in a mass multi-user online game that can bring together about a billion Earth residents.
Iribé notes that this magnitude will not be achieved so soon, but that the capacity of the modern Internet is not sufficient, but the ultimate objective of Oculus in this direction should be the creation of a meta-human with many virtual worlds.
According to chapter Oculus VR, Facebook could be the best way for a company to reach the largest audience. Modern game consoles are sold in tens of millions, and in the case of social media and mobile platforms, the numbers are different.
The main objective of the development of an alleged online universe by Iribe is to create an illusion that the user speaks to a living person, that, in the current state of graphics and animation in the games, it is still impossible.
According to Irbe, the new office of Oculus VR in Seattle, headed by a veteran of the Valve Game Studio, Michael Abras, will be devoted exclusively to such research.
At the end of March, NASA proposed another option for the use of large numbers of people in helmets. Virtual reality - The search for extra-terrestrial civilizations using vast data sets collected by satellites and telescopes. On 5 May, it was reported that Oculus Rift had already been used in the Norwegian army to control the tank.
