Ok so that Facebook/Oculus livestream on future of AR was actually super inspiring. (FF& #39;d to 30min session w/ Michael Abrash). Seems like we& #39;re gonna see a lot of FB employees walking around w/ employee-only glasses w/ cameras+sensors as FB works to build its 3D map of the world.
I appreciate FB for telegraphing the vision so clearly... "You& #39;re gonna see people wearing these FB glasses, don& #39;t freak out! We& #39;re gonna someday connect them to your brain so you can neural-click, don& #39;t freak out!"
IMHO, super-clever strategy to use army of Facebook employees wearing R&D camera-glasses to crowdsouce a 3D model of real world. Think: Google StreetView cars, except it& #39;s people walking thru cities modeling everything in sight... inside + outside + at home + in stores, etc.
Was clear watching the Oculus 2 presentation that the "Workspaces" demo is using Oculus as the training-wheels for AR glasses, esp w/ the passthru video on the world-facing camera. Also clever.
Q to any Oculus developers out there -- can you run YOLO object detection / image classification on Oculus using the world-facing camera? This must have already been done, right? (if not, why not? Oculus Go has world-facing camera,right?
