Since Apple introduced Siri, an iPhone-based voice assistant, in 2011, AI voice assistants have become increasingly popular. All smartphones come with voice assistant as standard, and Windows 10 and Xbox One also integrate voice assistants. In addition, there are AI-integrated devices specifically tailored for voice assistants, such as Google Home and Amazon Alexa. There are rumors that Facebook will also be involved, and make adaptations for Oculus Rift.
A user named guyfromacompanysorta posted on Reddit that they had teamed up with a Facebook "test" contractor and one of their jobs was "recording instructions through an application." These instructions are varied, such as: "Oculus! Help me to accomplish certain tasks." There are instructions similar to Facebook, such as "Invite someone to join a video call," "Create a Facebook event," or "Reply to John's. Information / answer John's phone." In addition, there are other common instructions for personal voice assistants, such as asking for information on the weather, traffic conditions, etc. (This may be a common voice assistant between Rift and Facebook).
The user’s announcement inspired the outside world to gradually open up the dispute between Facebook and Oculus Rift. However, we can't make a conclusion based on only a few unsubstantiated pictures in the user's post. It is not difficult to use computer to forge these pictures. In addition, it should be noted that the picture of the post posted by the user refers to the game Alien: Isolation and the game does not have an Oculus Rift. The Oculus Connect 4 conference will be held soon. You can watch if the conference will mention Oculus Rift's AI voice assistant.
