Ok, this is the kind of tech I would like to see come up and mature in the coming ten-twenty years.
Having dozens of employees and four years of development period with VC money suggests that they have something more than just a POC.
With any great technology/innovation, the next obvious question always is, how can it be used at a mass scale, so that it gets accepted as just another part of a person's life. To put it another way, how can it be assimilated into the common services/products that we consume in our daily lives. Only then it will produce the value that it's makers were hoping for.
So what kind of void could this technology fill?
That depends on the vision of the creators and those who own it. I guess, if it was Apple that was buying this startup, we would see very different end usage of it.
If it was Google, we would see something absolutely different. If it was Amazon, who knows what they might use it for?
But since it is Facebook, we have to feel a bit apprehensive.
Because what is it that Facebook intends to do in long term? What is it's vision? Being one of the biggest tech companies in the World right now, it is of paramount importance that we know what do they intend to do with the tech they acquire?
And this tech could be revolutionary! It is the kind of stuff that we read in Sci-Fi. Hope they make something good/useful out of it.
