in the very first day of its annual F8 developer conference, Facebook hit us with a barrage of new innovation and features coming to the platform. CEO Mark Zuckerberg was big on Augmented Reality, while the new VR app paltform is something straight out of a sci-fi movie. Here's everything the social network has in store for you this year.




We are making the camera the first Augmented Reality Platform,” Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced at the company’s annual developer meet. The new camera features within the Facebook app allows users to superimpose various face filters on their pictures, just like Snapchat. These can be accessed from the camera icon on the top left corner of the Facebook app home screen. Facebook says the platform will rely on developers to create new AR experiences for its users and will be compatible with AR hardware such as eyeglasses in the future.
