All of the Big News from Facebook's F8 2017

(upbeat techno music)

Hey everyone! (audience applauding)

Hi.

Hi everyone, hi.

[Announcer] Facebook's 2017 F8

was all about augmented reality and your phone's camera.

You'll get games and photo filters and your surroundings

will soon be stickered up with metadata,

but the only way to see all these stuff

will be through the Facebook app and your phone's lens.

Now, we're on Facebook,

we noticed that there's just people gathering around

looking at blank walls.

(audience laughing)

[Announcer] That is as long as they've got

Facebook AR running, that's where virtual art will be hung

and notes about the cool new coffee shop will pop up

and thanks to SLAM, you'll be able to play virtual games

on any surface like a boss.

Facebook Spaces is a place for you to be yourself in VR

with your real friends no matter where you are

in the physical world.

[Announcer] But Facebook isn't just biting Snapchat style.

Three years ago, it bought virtual reality company, Oculus,

and now, Facebook Spaces is the way the company

wants you to chill with your friends in social VR,

wear virtual party hats at a VR dance party,

take selfies with virtual selfie sticks

or just tour the ISS.

We now have over 1.2 billion people

using Messenger every month.

[Announcer] Even Facebook Messenger

is getting some new features.

Now, you'll be able to share songs and fire up games

without ever leaving the app.

It already works with Spotify

and will soon integrate with Apple Music.

And it won't just be beats either.

Facebook's new Messenger bots are gonna get cozy

with you and your crew.

They'll find you a cocktail bar, order food for your group,

even get you tickets to the new Star Wars flick.

The bots will score you a good seat

but they won't stand in line for you,

so charge up that battery.
