Now, Then, Ten

The Future of Communities is AR & VR: Andrew ‘Boz’ Bosworth, VP, Facebook Reality Labs

In the final episode of this series, Brent speaks to Boz - Head of VR/AR at Facebook. Boz shares the incredible work he’s implemented at Facebook, including enabling immense user growth (which was 5 million when he first started, and managed to double), as well as the creation of Facebook Reality Labs, where he drives all of Facebook’s efforts in augmented reality, and virtual reality.  Having joined Mark Zuckerberg at Facebook in 2006, Boz created the News Feed and many anti-abuse systems, and led the integration of the Facebook Messages and Chat products. Building community at the heart of what he does, makes an interesting discussion for how he perceives the role AR and VR will make in the future
