Preached before, Facebook introduced a new social networking service for Oculus. The service called Spaces is a product that combines VR technology with social media, allowing Oculus users to connect with their Facebook accounts and gain experience using social media in different ways.
With Spaces, Facebook users no longer communicate with the use of chat applications. Users will be displayed in an avatar and communications will be made through voice, just like a normal conversation.
Through this app, there are four Facebook users who can connect in a group. Each user can chat, draw, watch 360 videos, make video calls, including selfie by wearing a user avatar.
