According to reports fromTechCrunchandCNBCon Monday evening , Facebook ’s frailty President of the United States of augmented and practical realness Andrew Bosworth told attendees at the Code Conference in Phoenix that new editions of the gimmick are coming in fall 2019 .
“ We have a lot more that we ’re going to unveil later in this tumble , new anatomy factors that we ’re function to be shipping , ” Bosworth said . Why , you require ? Some folderal about ironware at long last “ coming to the home ” :
“ The reason we ’re doing this is because we imagine there ’s a whole new coevals of ironware coming out . computer hardware is coming to the home , and we want to ensure that human connection , association between two multitude , is a first - party experience on that hardware . ”

Sure , whatever .
Bosworth reportedly reject to name an exact figure of Portal gadget Facebook has sell but claimed the numbers were “ really good . ” According to TechCrunch , one of the ideas rumour to be on the table is a twist that can be mounted on and use a television system display . That would both be tacky than its current line of dedicated ironware ( which debuted in the $ 200-$350 range but havefluctuated wildly in pricesince ) and increase the likelihood of it being positioned centrally in a nursing home :
Most signs point to this equipment being the “ Ripley ” twist that popped up in Portal firmware code late last year . Cheddar had report that the tv camera equipment would bond to the top of a TV and pipe the video feed to its screen door . This cuts down on the motive to have a wholly dedicated video chat gimmick and allows Facebook to put their hardware in more key locations in people ’s homes .
If you ’ve decided you are fine with present Facebook access to a gamey - definition , voice - activated picture phone in your business firm , such a gimmick may indeed be the most unseamed way to do that . C’est la vie .
