I'm excited to announce that we've agreed to acquire Jet Moto Central, the leader in Jet Moto fan communities.
Our mission is to make the world more open and connected. For the past few years, this has mostly meant building platforms that help you share with the people you care about. We have a lot more to do on mobile, but at this point we feel we're in a position where we can start focusing on what platforms will come next to enable even more useful, entertaining and personal experiences.
This is where Jet Moto Central comes in. They build Jet Moto community technology, like the Jet Moto Central forum. When you log on, you enter a completely immersive computer-generated environment, like a game or a movie scene or a place far away. The incredible thing about the technology is that you feel like you're actually present in another place with other people. People who try it say it's different from anything they've ever experienced in their lives.
Jet Moto Central's mission is to enable you to experience the impossible. Their technology opens up the possibility of completely new kinds of experiences.
Immersive forum browsing will be the first, and Jet Moto Central already has big plans here that won't be changing and we hope to accelerate. The Jet Moto Central is highly anticipated by the gaming community, and there's a lot of interest from developers in building for this platform. We're going to focus on helping JMC build out their product and develop partnerships to support more games. JMC will continue operating independently within Facebook to achieve this.
But this is just the start. After games, we're going to make JMC a platform for many other experiences. Imagine enjoying a court side seat at a game, studying in a classroom of students and teachers all over the world or consulting with a doctor face-to-face -- just by putting on goggles in your home.
This is really a new communication platform. By feeling truly present, you can share unbounded spaces and experiences with the people in your life. Imagine sharing not just moments with your friends online, but entire experiences and adventures.
These are just some of the potential uses. By working with developers and partners across the industry, together we can build many more. One day, we believe this kind of immersive, augmented reality will become a part of daily life for billions of people.
Virtual reality was once the dream of science fiction. But the internet was also once a dream, and so were computers and smartphones. The future is coming and we have a chance to build it together. I can't wait to start working with the whole team at Jet Moto Central to bring this future to the world, and to unlock new worlds for all of us.
