I really wonder if FB has discovered some weird metric that can only be detected by VR which tells them if you’re going to buy stuff. Eye tracking?

Eye tracking?
- jamesfinlayson 4y agoProbably, though I don't think they're alone - I remember reading an article a few years ago above Valve Software experimenting with VR, eye-tracking and skin conductivity (i.e. sweating) to control the horde in Left 4 Dead.
- lithos 4y agoFacebook has problems with browsers. Sandboxed away, no file system access, and user having full control of their browser (ad blocking, noscript, and similar). With VR you're in full control of writing a driver (and if you go full Sony style rootkit most people won't even read the news story), you have full control of what launcher/store users must use (no troubling addons like ad blocking), you have full access to video of the room that VR is happening in (if you choose to), eye tracking as you mentioned, mouth tracking is getting popular, and have full access to anything you can fit on a fitness watch (heart rate, blood pressure, alone is enough to guess a person health especially since you have their movement logs. maybe someday in the future sweat analysis).
