Facebook says it has created a team dedicated solely to researching and developing virtual reality for social networking.
"Going back about 10 years, most of what we shared and experienced was text," CEO Mark Zuckerberg said during a surprise appearance Sunday at a Samsung event at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. "Then it was photos. And now we're entering into a world where that's video. But pretty soon we're going to live in a world where everyone has the power to share and experience whole scenes as if you're just there, right there in person."
