Mark Zuckerberg ātoursā flooded Puerto Rico in bizarre virtual reality promo | Guardian
A cartoon version of Facebookās CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, visited hurricane-damaged Puerto Rico on Monday, in a tone-deaf livestream that was part disaster tourism, part product promotion.
Zuckerberg, along with Facebookās head of social virtual reality, Rachel Franklin, appeared as avatars within the broadcast from his profile as they āteleportedā to different locations using Facebookās āsocial VRā tool Spaces. In reality, the two were speaking from the comfort of their offices in the companyās campus in Menlo Park, California, wearing virtual reality headsets.
āOne of the things thatās really magical about VR is you can get the feeling youāre really in a place,ā said Zuckerberg as his grinning avatar floated over scenes of flooding and destruction.
āRachel and I arenāt even in the same building in the physical world, but it feels like weāre in the same place and can make eye contact,ā he added before he and Rachel high-fived within the virtual space with the sombre scenes of Puerto Rican devastation around them.
