Facebook AR Camera At F8: Facebook Wants To Become Platform For Augmented Reality

Facebook will release an augmented reality camera feature in beta to its new Camera Effects platform on Tuesday, Mark Zuckerberg Facebook CEO announced at the F8 annual developer conference.
Facebook has been adding technology very similar to that of Snapchat for months, since Instagram and Facebook added stories features that copied Snapchat, as ground work for the augmented reality they would eventually launch, he said.
