【Two Couples Affair in Broad Daylight】
When you're Mark Zuckerberg,Two Couples Affair in Broad Daylight you have the privilege of checking out what tomorrow's virtual and augmented reality are going to look like: All it takes is a visit to the Oculus Research lab in Redmond, Washington.
Luckily for us, the co-founder and CEO of Facebook (which owns Oculus) shared a small piece of his experience on Facebook -- and revealed some really interesting details in the process.

While we're not quite there yet, Zuckerberg's collage of photos from the lab shows what might be coming next to Oculus. One image shows him wearing a new type of VR gloves, which can do a lot more than your regular Oculus Touch controller.
"Wearing these gloves, you can draw, type on a virtual keyboard, and even shoot webs like Spider Man. That's what I'm doing here," he wrote. Yes, Mark Zuckerberg is actually being Spider-Man in this photo.
Another photo shows an anechoic chamber, built by Oculus to perform experiments with sound. According to Zuckerberg, the chamber will be one of the quietest places in the world when it's finished. "So quiet you can hear your own heart beat," he wrote.

A third photo shows a "5-axis CNC milling machine;" Zuckerberg also claims the lab has a diamond cutter that uses a gemstone-quality diamond to cut through metal.

There's no word, of course, when we might see the Spider-Man-ready gloves as an actual product, but seeing Oculus working on something like that makes us feel great about the future of VR and AR.
