Officials from Samsung and Facebook have met for the third time this year. It is not that much of a surprise considering the Gear VR is made with the Facebook-owned Oculus VR. By now, meetings should have moved on to other projects because the Gear VR is approaching a release. Apparently this latest meeting was a big success for both companies.
At the latest meetig, the two met at Samsung’s Open Innovation Center in Silicon Valley to discuss “futuristic” projects. Samsung and Facebook are working together to assist one another with their core strengths. If there is one area Facebook can help Samsung, it is user interaction. On the other side, Samsung could help Facebook gain success when it comes to hardware.
What is to come from these meetings? No one really knows. It could be hardware or it could be software. Maybe even both. Another Facebook phone seems highly unlikely due to the social network’s failed products. It could actually be something as simple as Facebook be pre-installed on select Samsung devices. However, that just does not sound like a futuristic project. It probably has something to do with hardware because Samsung is present; therefore, keep an eye out for something like a social smartwatch powered by Facebook.
