Social Media and its influence

Mark Zuckerbergs Facebook Inc. möchte bei zukünftigen Produkten unabhängig von Googles Android werden. Daher lässt man für künftige Hardware im Augmented Reality-Bereich (AR) vorsorglich ein eigenes Betriebssystem entwickeln. Das berichtet die US-Seite The Information unter Berufung auf Facebooks Unternehmenssprecher. Das könnte sich auf neuere Modelle der Oculus- oder künftige Augmented-Reality-Brillen beziehen, wo Facebook auch neue Hardware auf Silicon-on-Chip entwickelt.

Facebook has acquired a German company called Fayteq that builds software add-ons for video editing that can remove and add whole objects from captured video using computer vision. The acquisition was first reported by a German startup publication (via Variety) and confirmed to TechCrunch, and could be useful as Facebook pursues additional video filter creation technology, both for its live streaming efforts, and for platforms like Instagram Stories.

Of course, being able to add objects to live video and remove them or cover them over on the fly is also something that can be put to interesting use in the emerging field of augmented reality. Facebook launched an AR platform for its built-in camera feature in April at this year’s F8, with the aim of encouraging developers to build AR experiences for use in Facebook on smartphones, which Mark Zuckerberg has said will be “the first augmented reality platform that becomes mainstream.”

Facebook wants to remove its dependency on Google and Android for its own hardware products like its Oculus headsets and augmented reality technology, so the company is making its own operating system.  

Facebook's VP of hardware, Andrew Bosworth, told the publication that Facebook doesn't trust that rivals will ensure there's space for Facebook in future, which social media giant is betting will be based around virtual realty and augmented reality.
