Facebook is developing a virtual reality TELEPORTER to transport users anywhere in the world
However the plans face some serious challenges that need to be overcome before it can become a reality.
First is making the virtual reality worlds appear real.
Another key step would be coming up with a way to make users see their own hands and feet as they moved around.
Seeing other people in the virtual world would also be another important step.
Last May, Oculus also acquired Surreal Vision, a computer vision start-up that focuses on creating ultra-realistic virtual worlds - a skill that could be useful when it comes to creating the teleporter.
Whereas Oculus was born almost solely as a gaming company, Facebook's long-run plan is bringing virtual reality to as many fields as possible.
In 2014, the Information revealed Facebook had approached Hollywood film companies to discuss the possibility of creating 'Oculus experiences.' The teleporter could be the next step on the road to mainstream VR.
