Ugh, yeah Facebook probably bought Oculus thinking:
-What if a lot of people use these in the future
-What if they're really comfy when they get slim, and people use them all the time, even for essentially web browsing.
-Later models can easily have internal and mouth facing cameras so you can smile at people in VR
-Let's intimately observe the finest twitch of every expression felt by our users, peering deep into their minds, learning more about how to manipulate and destroy humans than anyone ever thought possible.

- Applejinx 6y agoDamn straight. The prospect of how much you can learn about human reactions is INCREDIBLE. Eye and mouth tracking is everything, here: it would be turning a wide variety of human behavior study into Big Data and straightforward machine learning. What would you do with it? What wouldn't you do with it?
