Facebook Expands Augmented Reality Features in Messenger

It's now been a few months since Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) made a major push into augmented reality (AR) to complement its virtual reality (VR) efforts. At the social network's F8 developer conference earlier this year, CEO Mark Zuckerberg proclaimed that Facebook was "making the camera the first augmented reality platform," while introducing a handful of AR features like its Camera Effects Platform.

However, it was clear that those moves were just a starting point, and Facebook has just announced that it is introducing a new AR feature into Messenger called World Effects.
