Venues lets you watch live events with your friends in VR, i.e. But they released the beta versions of Facebook Horizon (invite-only) and Oculus Venues (early access with limited spots) to a small group of members.
Of course, you want to have everything available in the 2D video format. Way to make your user feel special, brownie points for fan engagement! And during the conference, for every live-streaming session you shared on your timeline, Facebook personally thanked you by tagging you in the comments and asked you what your favorite part of the conference was. Sweet! So anyone anywhere with a FB account could easily stream the conference without any hassle all they had to do was follow the FRL page to keep up with updates. They streamed everything online on Facebook (platform), and more importantly, to increase the visibility of FRL, they streamed, posted, and organized the live and on-demand content on the Facebook Reality Labs’s Facebook page. The official site gave you two ways to participate – the first being in VR, the second option online. The pandemic pushed the conference to go fully virtual and it served as a great opportunity for Facebook to showcase the power of social and immersive media. It’s now in their mission to advance in digital media to provide immersive experiences. Why? Because now it’s not just Oculus who is officially making strides in the VR industry with their hardware and app store, it’s Facebook Reality Labs (FRL) encompassing everything AR/VR with products like the Portal (smart video calling device), Project Aria (their AR glasses), SparkAR (effects creation tool), Horizon (VR world-building platform), etc., depreciating. OC7 is quite special, and it will go down in history as the biggest VR Conference in VR! Facebook made a big shift by renaming it to Facebook Connect. We eagerly look forward to the launch of the new Quest 2 at Oculus Connect 7 (OC7) aka FACEBOOK CONNECT. Each of us received an Oculus Quest headset three days before they announced the Oculus Quest 2. We were onboarded within a few days, and the program kicked off with an engaging 3-day Bootcamp. I couldn’t believe I was one of the 100 members to be chosen from the US and Canada to be part of the 2020 cohort! On Sep 7, 2020, I received an email that I had been selected for the Oculus Launch Pad (OLP) program, a 3-month program by Facebook Oculus that supports creators from diverse backgrounds to build and showcase working prototypes to win the Oculus scholarship.
