Yesterday marks the first day of F8
2017, Facebook’s annual event where developers and businesses come
together to explore the future of technology. More than 4,000 people
attended the event at the McEnery Convention Center in San Jose,
California, and millions watched the keynote via Facebook Live.
Mark Zuckerberg opened the conference
to talk about how technology can help the platform build stronger
communities - from the local level, up to the global level. For the
past decade, Facebook has focused on connecting friends and families.
Now, with that foundation, the company’s next focus will be giving
people the power to build community.
Technology gives communities new ways
to connect, and one of the most exciting areas for this is augmented
reality. Mark talked about how the camera is the first augmented
reality platform and announced the Camera Effects Platform.
Other keynote speakers were Chief
Technology Officer Mike Schroepfer, VP of Platform & Marketplace
Deb Liu, Head of Social VR Rachel Franklin, VP of Product
Partnerships Ime Archibong and VP of Messaging Products David Marcus.
