VR headsets Oculus get voice assistant

Oculus VR headsets will receive a voice assistant in the future. Facebook has announced that. It is still unknown what users can do with this and when the voice assistant will be on the headsets.

In addition to current Oculus headsets, the voice assistant is also for “future products,” Facebook tells Reuters. In addition, Facebook’s video calling device Portal also gets the built-in voice assistant.

There are no further details. For example, it is unknown when the voice assistant will come and what the software can do. Facebook confirmed the assistant’s existence after a rumor about it Wednesday. The social network already had M, a “human” assistant in Facebook Messenger. That project never got off the ground and ended last year. Facebook is the last of the big tech giants without a voice assistant. Apple has Siri, Google has Assistant, Amazon has Alexa, and Microsoft has Cortana.
