Facebook Spaces – The way we hang out on social media could look (and feel) very different soon
To take part in Facebook Spaces you need an Oculus headset (which comes equipped with a microphone and earpieces so you can chat away) and two accompanying sensors that measure your depth when doing things like selecting menu items by pointing with you hand, grabbing things or drawing on the walls.
You’ll also need a pretty decent computer with a good graphics processor unit to power Facebook Spaces. So all together you’re probably looking at upwards of $1200 for everything you need.
The headset also comes with two handheld controllers which you can use to manipulate your facial expressions while in Facebook Spaces. Eventually, I would expect that sort of thing to be automatically read by facial recognition sensors but that’s still a long way off.
