Facebook's focus on virtual reality (VR) is obvious to all. Apart from spending $2 billion to acquire Oculus, many CEOs of Mark's Zuckerberg have personally been involved in VR events since then. However, two pieces of information from Facebook indicate that the company's emphasis on virtual reality may be far more than you think.
A statement by Brendan Iribe, head of PC VR at the Oculus team, and a quarterly report from Facebook showed that more than 5% of the company’s overall workforce is dedicated to virtual reality.
Facebook submitted a quarterly report this week. In this report, Facebook describes data on the size of the company and its growth over the past year. One of the reports described as: "As of March 31, 2017, the number of employees was 18,770, an increase of 38% over the same period last year."
Due to policy issues, Facebook declined to comment on the size of its various teams. However, Iribe gave a speech at the Unity Vision Summit summit in Los Angeles this week. When asked why he resigned from Oculus CEO, Iribe's response revealed some information: “When we cooperated with Zuckerberg At the time, we had only 60 employees... After we entered Facebook, we planned to increase the team to more than 1,000 people. Along the way, I started spending most of my time recruiting people and spending a lot of time managing the organization.â€
Iribe did not specify that the VR team has grown to more than 1,000 employees, but this at least means that more than 5% of their plan is dedicated to this technology. We have already asked the specific numbers of Facebook employees currently working on VR/AR, and if we receive the news, it will be presented for the first time.
What is a miniature slip ring? Miniature slip rings are rotary electrical connectors that allow power and data to be transferred between a stationary and rotating structure. They are often used in medical, military, and aerospace applications where size and weight are critical factors.
A miniature slip ring typically consists of two parts: a stationary housing and a rotating contact assembly. The contact assembly contains the brushes that make electrical contact with the rotating structure, as well as the rings that conduct current or data.
The housing can be made from any number of materials, including metals, plastics, and composites. It is typically designed to be as small and lightweight as possible while still providing adequate strength and durability.
The contact assembly is made from precious metals such as gold or silver in order to provide good electrical conductivity.
Technology improves with the continuous development of precision machinery. The more sophisticated the equipment, the smaller the volume will be. And the space that can be accommodated for installing the slip ring is also very small. The key parts of some equipment are quite a district. Especially in the high-end military, aerospace and aviation fields. 360-degree rotation is required to transmit current and signals. And the installation space is greatly reduced. It is to make the equipment work more smoothly. Therefore, it is necessary to design the slip ring to be small and exquisite. Otherwise, it won't meet the needs of the installation.
At the same time, we have moved with the continuous development of science and technology. Various high-end precision instruments have been developed. It requires the slip ring to transmit the current amount of general power. Also often undertake the transmission of weak electrical signals and various weak signals. The transmission medium is wider, and the number of loops of the slip ring is increasing.
