Facebook said to be working on dedicated movie talk device
Facebook is reportedly working on dedicated movie talk hardware, per a fresh report by Bloomberg. The device is said to be the inaugural major product from Facebook’s hardware-focused Building eight product development lab, and will include a notebook-sized display. It’s intended to make movie talk participants separated geographically feel like they’re together in the same space, the report claims.
Bloomberg’s report also claims Building eight is developing a separate clever speaker product, similar to Amazon’s Echo and Google Home, which would use a voice assistant developed by the social network provider. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg developed his own home voice assistant as part of a project resulting from his annual resolutions, which in two thousand sixteen focused on building a wise home companion similar to Jarvis from Metal Man.
This isn’t the very first we’ve heard of a clever speaker in development at Facebook – a report last week sourced from DigiTimes suggested that the company’s supply chain sources indicated a brainy speaker with an integrated 15-inch display was on track for a potential very first quarter two thousand eighteen launch.
Based on the details of this fresh report, it sounds like the wise speaker and device with a 15-inch display may actually be two separate products. The 15-inch screen would fit with this fresh suggestion of a device with a laptop-sized screen tailored for movie talk, at least.
Bloomberg also says the movie talk gadget will include a wide-angle camera, built-in microphones and speakers, with artificial intelligence tech used to improve its photographic (suggesting zoom and lock features on people’s faces) and audio spectacle. In testing, it’s being supported by a skinny stand that supports the display, which could reportedly be inbetween thirteen and 15-inches in size. FB is said to be considering Android for the OS, rather than its own in-house operating system.
Facebook has also tested a 360-degree camera for the device, which would fit with their shove to bring three hundred sixty movie to their social platform, but that won’t be ready in time for its initial planned product launch. It’s reportedly set to retail for “a few hundred dollars,” Bloomberg reports, with the standalone wise speaker aiming to sell for somewhere around $100; that speaker could be sidelined entirely, too, if Facebook determines to concentrate entirely on the movie talk hardware.
A movie talk device could make sense for Facebook in a number of ways, including as a way to lower the friction of movie talk to make it accessible to a broad user base, rather than making it an extra service that requires logins and apps on platforms designed for general purpose use. Plus, it could integrate with Facebook Messenger, making that talk platform even more of a default option for broad communication, and helping it grow as a customer service transaction platform at the same time.

In testing, it’s being supported by a lean stand that supports the display, which could reportedly be inbetween thirteen and 15-inches in size. FB is said to be considering Android for the OS, rather than its own in-house operating system.
Facebook has also tested a 360-degree camera for the device, which would fit with their thrust to bring three hundred sixty movie to their social platform, but that won’t be ready in time for its initial planned product launch. It’s reportedly set to retail for “a few hundred dollars,” Bloomberg reports, with the standalone brainy speaker aiming to sell for somewhere around $100; that speaker could be sidelined entirely, too, if Facebook determines to concentrate entirely on the movie talk hardware.
A movie talk device could make sense for Facebook in a number of ways, including as a way to lower the friction of movie talk to make it accessible to a broad user base, rather than making it an extra service that requires logins and apps on platforms designed for general purpose use. Plus, it could integrate with Facebook Messenger, making that talk platform even more of a default option for broad communication, and helping it grow as a customer service transaction platform at the same time.

Facebook said to be working on dedicated movie talk device
Facebook is reportedly working on dedicated movie talk hardware, per a fresh report by Bloomberg. The device is said to be the inaugural major product from Facebook’s hardware-focused Building eight product development lab, and will include a notebook-sized display. It’s intended to make movie talk participants separated geographically feel like they’re together in the same space, the report claims.
Bloomberg’s report also claims Building eight is developing a separate brainy speaker product, similar to Amazon’s Echo and Google Home, which would use a voice assistant developed by the social network provider. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg developed his own home voice assistant as part of a project resulting from his annual resolutions, which in two thousand sixteen focused on building a brainy home companion similar to Jarvis from Metal Man.
This isn’t the very first we’ve heard of a brainy speaker in development at Facebook – a report last week sourced from DigiTimes suggested that the company’s supply chain sources indicated a brainy speaker with an integrated 15-inch display was on track for a potential very first quarter two thousand eighteen launch.
Based on the details of this fresh report, it sounds like the wise speaker and device with a 15-inch display may actually be two separate products. The 15-inch screen would fit with this fresh suggestion of a device with a laptop-sized screen tailored for movie talk, at least.
Bloomberg also says the movie talk gadget will include a wide-angle camera, built-in microphones and speakers, with artificial intelligence tech used to improve its photographic (suggesting zoom and lock features on people’s faces) and audio spectacle. In testing, it’s being supported by a skinny stand that supports the display, which could reportedly be inbetween thirteen and 15-inches in size. FB is said to be considering Android for the OS, rather than its own in-house operating system.
