Facebook Creates New Team for ‘Social Virtual Reality’

Financial Times: Facebook has created a new “social VR” team, led by two video-gaming execs, Daniel James and Mike Booth, ahead of the launch of its Oculus Rift headset next month. The unit is the first time that Facebook has begun to consider how to bring its core social networking service into virtual reality. The move implies that Facebook’s vision for its VR community could look something like Second Life, the online world that saw a brief surge of popularity 10 years ago.
