TL;DR will not only summarize news articles for Facebook readers but will also be able to do so in bullet points, the audio narration of articles, and a voice assistant to ask questions about a piece, noted the report.
Speaking about the 'neural sensor device' Facebook demonstrated, here is exactly how it works - Facebook Chief Technology Officer Mike Schroepfer said: "that the sensor takes neural signals coming from my brain, down my spinal cord along my arm, to my wrist, where this sensor detects and interprets them, and allows users to make a physical action."
Schroepfer said the sensor has benefits such as for typing, holding a virtual object, or controlling a video game. Facebook's data centers are currently receiving new systems, this will make the neutral sensors 10-30 times faster and will also make the company's AI to train itself.
Finally, Facebook has another project called "Horizon", according to a report, this is a social media that is based on virtual reality, users are able to ‘hang out' with their avatars in VR just like Second Life. Using a tech called FaceGen, users are able to video chat, this is able to still work while connected to a poor network.
