As the real Zuckerberg stood on stage, incongruously wearing his Oculus headset, his\u00a0avataar interacted with its\u00a0virtual companions &#8211; two Facebook employees. As the three laughed and joked, they were able to switch locations at will &#8211; one moment they were swimming with sharks, the next they were roaming around on Mars.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\">This is all pretty standard VR fare, but then Zuck took it up a notch. Within his VR world, he had a Facebook video chat with wife Priscilla, who appeared as <em>herself<\/em>. So\u00a0the real Mark Zuckerberg had created a virtual world, into which he was interacting with his very real wife, in real time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\">Sounds familiar?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-21880\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/officechai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/inception.jpg?resize=570%2C311\" alt=\"inception\" width=\"570\" height=\"311\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/officechai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/inception.jpg?w=570&amp;ssl=1 570w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/officechai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/inception.jpg?resize=300%2C164&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/officechai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/inception.jpg?resize=500%2C273&amp;ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/officechai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/inception.jpg?resize=71%2C40&amp;ssl=1 71w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 570px) 100vw, 570px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\">And if that wasn&#8217;t enough, the virtual Zuck posed for\u00a0a selfie that featured himself and his real wife.
