April 18 and 19, Facebook F8 Developer Conference .
At this year's F8 conference, Facebook was like crazy, and it posted a lot of black technologies that were full of imagination.
is different from the Xiaomi 6 press conference yesterday, Lei Jun explained the sensational craftsmanship on stage. As soon as Xiao Zha (Zach Berg) came on stage, he lost two "the most powerful world's VR cameras to you.
↓Facebook Surround360 X24 and X6↓
Facebook Surround360 X24, as the name suggests, has 24 cameras embedded in a sphere body. (Surround360 X6 is 6)
This is the second generation Facebook Surround360 product, two goals.
Surround360 X24 and X6 support 8K photography, and the obtained scenes support 6 degrees of freedom movement.

In the VR scene shot by Surround360, you can move up, down, left, right, forward, and backward without any pressure.
can ↑↓↓←→←→BABA? !
Surround360 will use light field technology and hardware advantages to record depth information in the scene and the geometric shape changes of light in the scene during shooting.
developers can edit real-life scenarios and add CG effects.
↓ These butterflies are added later↓
This may be the best quality 360° VR camera at present, no one.
And, it is open source!
You can use Facebook Surround360's VR scenarios on a large number of VR devices including Gear VR and Oculus Rift.

Xiaoan, how much does this thing cost?
Uh, Facebook didn't say it, but according to an insider insider of Facebook that Xiao An knew, you can't afford it without a 2-30W USD.
...is it expensive?
These devices are obviously not used for ordinary people, and they will only be used when shooting VR movies.
Just think about the future of 8K VR movies, and you can still use ↑↑↓↓←→←→BABA. I feel that it will be super super super super super super super super super super super super super super super super super super super super super super super super super super super super super super super super super super super super super super dizzy !
But indeed, the technology of these two products is more advanced than most VR cameras at present.
and it is much better than the first generation of UFO!

After blue, the APP known as "future social" is known as "future social" - Facebook Spaces.
A social software based on VR and augmented reality is very simple to use.
takes out VR and transforms!
When the typhoon swept, VR birthday party became the best way.
or, VR, do you draw me guess?
If you don’t want to use VR seriously, you can still play like this.
如人如人, this is the fish pond I have packaged for you ——
I don’t want a fish pond, is there such a house?
No, goodbye, ok.
Puuuuuu, it turns into a bunch of emoji...
I like to see houses in real guns, carry guns and work hard contract fish pond , hehe.
(Okay, I'm just making a fool of myself)
Zuckerberg previewed at the conference that Facebook Spaces will connect 1.2 billion users on Messenger with VR scenes.
Wooo, this has a great influence!
If you think this is nothing, you are still VR.
, there are two other technologies: typing in mind and receiving information in the skin.
Idea typing
Facebook is developing a technology called "brain-computer speech-to-text interface".
This technique uses optical imaging to scan the brain 100 times per second, detecting the brain's consciousness and converting it into text.
No need to move your fingers, you can write articles by lying down.
About the biggest pain point - Is typing fast?
The project leader said that the current actual test for paralyzed patients can enter 8 English words per minute.
The ultimate goal is 100 words per minute, which is 5 times the typing speed of mobile phones.
However, this technology sounds quite terrible at the moment.
It requires implanting small electrodes into the brain, which is probably a chip...
The scene of a science fiction movie really appears!
Facebook team said that technology will be improved in the future and there is no need to talk about clicks implanted into the brain.
They said: "The requirements are very strict at present, but technically feasible."
It is worth mentioning that this project has been carried out for only 6 months and can realize the input of ideas in half a year! ?
Yes, that's right, it can be inserted into the human brain test in 6 months... How does
feel so casual? Just insert
Skin receiving information
also mentioned another new progress in the press conference, letting the skin act as a medium to listen to the voices of the outside world.
This technology refers to the logic of cochlear implantation. Facebook intends to implant the cochlear function into the skin in hardware.
allows the skin to expand the vibrations from the sound, so that the user can learn to understand the information within these vibrations.
also showed a video like this on the spot:
In the video, two people use touch to talk to each other
, which can be realized in the future.
I touched your hand and you would know what I wanted to say.
You touched my hand
I will slap you and say you are a hooligan, hehe...
Compared with "brain computer technology", skin receiving information is still a concept. The project leader said that it may be several years before this technology is released.
In fact, for normal people, neither of these two technologies seems to have much significance.
Facebook is more based on medical aspects and is working to solve the impact of language disorders and hearing disorders.
Isn’t medical care the greatest thing?
Zuckerberg said that he will invest $3 billion in the future to strive to cure all diseases in human beings.
Baidu Are you learning to learn from others?
Finally, I wonder if you are interested in the team that has made two major black technologies in half a year?
This mysterious team is called Building 8, and its positioning is equivalent to the mysterious Google X, which is a group of "perverted" scientists.
Building 8 There is a group of people in it:
person in charge: former director of the Defense Advanced Research Program (DARPA) Regina Dugan.
Members:
The world's most leading engineer specializing in decoding languages
The world's most leading engineer specializing in robot learning
The world's most leading optical nervous system imaging scientist
The world's most leading neuroprosthetic scientist and engineer
"The world's most leading", is marked by Building 8. How idle are you...
Tucao
It's also a social enterprise, Facebook is doing things that many peers dare not think about.
Twitter, look at them!
