Zuckerberg took the opportunity to talk about some of the ways Facebook was helping with disaster relief, including donating $1.5m and working with the Red Cross to build population maps so that relief organizations know where the most help is needed.
You can see that we can really feel like were here, said Franklin.
This street is really flooded, added Mark.
After a moment of reflection, the pair decided to teleport back to California and switch gears to promote the companys upcoming Oculus developer conference by showing a 360-degree video from the 2016 event. They then made a virtual journey to the moon, where Franklin marveled at the absolutely lovely view of the Milky Way.
The livestream briefly dropped after suffering a technical glitch, before a second one started. In the interim, Zuckerberg introduced an animated version of his dog Beast to the virtual space and he and Franklin took a selfie.
After taking some questions from the audience, the pair made their final trip to Zuckerbergs living room, where their avatars were placed in a 360-video with a giant Beast.
Its from the perspective where were tiny and Beast is huge, said Zuckerberg, in between awkward laughs. Hes a pretty small dog, hes a 30lb dog, although more than 30lb of cute, and were kind of tiny.
This is one of the most exciting spaces for the future of social interaction, he added.
After many people criticized the VR broadcast in the comments on his Facebook profile, Zuckerberg apologized.
One of the most powerful features of VR is empathy. My goal here was to show how VR can raise awareness and help us see whats happening in different parts of the world, he said, adding that he also wanted to publicize Facebooks partnership with the Red Cross.
Reading some of the comments, I realize this wasnt clear, and Im sorry to anyone this offended.
