Eye OS

By creating their own operating system, Facebook will be able to take independent steps to provide social interaction and privacy. Facebook says the initiative is for AR Glass only. It will also allow Facebook to come out with some more acquisitions, which will make them stronger to their competitors. Especially if Facebook can use their augmented reality glass in Instagram branding.

Facebook has long regretted not having its own operating system. Vox’s infoAccording to, in 2013, Facebook was working on a secret project codenamed Oxygen. The task of this project was to arrange for Android app distribution outside the Play Store if necessary. Facebook also released an Android phone called Facebook Phone by partnering with HTC. However, this product is considered as one of the failed products of Facebook and HTC.

Present and future

Facebook is determined to learn from the mistakes of the past. To that end, Facebook has built an office for an 80,000-square-foot AR / VR team in Berlingham, with 4,000 employees, 15 miles north of its headquarters.

Facebook also bought semiconductor company Cirrus Logic for ড 4.5 billion to increase its control over the hardware world, making audio chips for Apple and others. Through these initiatives, Facebook is hopeful that it will regain its lost place in the market.
