FACEBOOK LAUNCHES OCULUS GO
Facebook has announced the Oculus Go, its cordless, and more affordable, Oculus VR headset. At $199, the Oculus Go is more within reach of the casual VR consumer than the Oculus Rift and actually has a better resolution than its higher end predecessor.
Facebook will be releasing apps for the Oculus, including Oculus Venues and Oculus TV, which offer music, sports and TV viewing on the headset, including big OTT platforms such as Netflix. At its F8 Conference, Facebook also announced its partnership with RED

Facebook also showed off its new avatar technologies at F8. These allow for more photorealistic representations which can be used in a VR environment. DATA PROTECTION KICK OFF world – maybe most of them. One of the central tenets of the GDPR
