"At every step along the way, the future is built by people who believe it can be better."
That's the message Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook's CEO, brought to the company's fourth annual Oculus Connect virtual reality developer conference Wednesday. As in previous years, Zuckerberg joined the stage to discuss the promise of what virtual reality can be and show off some goodies.
The company tallied 100 million app downloads, he said, and added that the company continues to work on a less-bulky version of its headsets.
But he said the company has a goal: Get 1 billion people in VR.
Maybe Zuckerberg can take those billion people along on his virtual cartoon tour of Puerto Rico's hurricane damage.

Why limit yourself to surfaces? Decent AR can create giant floating movie screens and billboards wherever it wants. No need for physical billboards at all - ad-laden billboards can be drawn in empty fields, and even travel along with you while they have your attention rather than rushing past before you've finished reading it.
