so you know over the last year we've been working to make Facebook I'm the best platform for 360 videos and video is already some of the most engaging content that you'll see online there are already everyday more than a hundred million hours of video content are watched on Facebook an example of an important breakthrough we call dynamic streaming for VR video the idea is that instead of delivering the whole video in a high resolution we just focus on the part that you're looking at and this allows us to deliver the video with a much higher resolution and quality about 4x while also reducing the overall bandwidth consumed for streaming the video by about 4x so this is just one example of how Facebook is driving all this VR software forward and I'm excited to announce that we'll bring all of this technology to gear VR in the next few weeks so there are lots of other challenges that we need to do to solve to create great VR experiences and Facebook with oculus are committed to this for the long term we've recently created new teams at Facebook to build the next generation of social apps and VR and there are hundreds of incredible content titles coming to the oculus store this year including minecraft and since the oculus team joined Facebook we've put hundreds of our best engineers on this to make much faster progress than the industry would have otherwise so we're committed to building the best VR experiences in the world
