Facebook wisely announced a slew of updates at their F8 Conference this week. Among them was Oculus Go, a dating functionality, and increased privacy settings (of course).
One technological advancement that received less attention is their 3D Photo Memory capability.
With this release, Facebook will essentially be bringing 3D illustrations and models to the News Feed. It’s also going to turn standard 2D photos into VR memories, or 3D environments you can explore using a pretty slick mosaic cloud design.
Facebook obviously wants to stay ahead of content visualization trends moving forward. It’s these types of subtle improvements that will keep the moat around them when it comes to sharing personal moments for years to come.
