Facebook showed the world it was serious about virtual reality technology when it dropped more than $2 billion to acquire Oculus VR. The company isn?t done with VR by a long shot, but it?s now setting its sights on augmented reality, as well. During the F8 Developer Conference opening keynote, Mark Zuckerberg announced a development platform that brings AR technology to the palm of your hand through the technology in your smartphone.

Facebook?s AR Studio development platform takes advantage of the cameras that you?ll find on every smartphone and leverages cutting-edge computer vision and machine learning advancements to transform your everyday world into augmented experiences.
