Although the infringement dispute between Oculus and Zenimax was eventually suspended by Oculus with a fine of 500 million U.S. dollars, this did not affect Oculus’s parent company Facebook’s determination to promote VR development. A few days ago, Facebook officially announced that the F8 conference has been opened for registration and announced a series of conference schedules and keynote speeches, including many speeches involving VR.
Facebook's annual F8 Developer Conference will be held in April. At this conference, Facebook will take us with a glimpse of the future of technology and how they are "connected to the world through product and innovation." At last year's F8 conference, Zuckerberg established ambitions for AI, VR, and AR for the next decade. It is necessary to connect the Internet to all corners of the world and build a world where AI, VR, and AR are popular.
Facebook showed us the Oculus product roadmap, which shows us aspects of future VR products in various aspects, including field of view, image quality, depth of field, dynamic range, and product appearance. At the same time, they also released a set of 3D panoramic camera design - Surround 360.

In 2017, with the launch of various types of VR devices, the content is undoubtedly the focus of force. On Facebook’s published agenda, we can see that VR content production is the focus of sharing.
Xiao Bian has organized these schedules. The following are all local time in the United States.

Guest: Andrew Imm (Facebook Software Engineer), Mike Armstrong (Oculus/Facebook Software Engineer)
From the above-mentioned agenda, the focus of sharing is not only the video and games that are more concerned about, but also VR social networking and WebVR. However, we will wait and see if there will be any blunders in the General Assembly. If you want to go to the site, you can search the official website to register.
SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) can be simply understood as an upgraded version of GBIC. GBIC (abbreviation for Gigabit Interface Converter) is an interface device that converts gigabit electrical signals into optical signals. GBIC is designed to be hot-swappable. GBIC is an interchangeable product that meets international standards. Gigabit switches designed with GBIC interfaces have a large market share due to flexible interchangeability.
GBIC modules are divided into two categories: one is the GBIC module used by ordinary cascade to realize the ordinary connection with other switches; the other is the stack dedicated GBIC module to realize the redundant connection with other switches.
GBIC was basically replaced by SFP for the following reasons:
SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggables) can be simply understood as an upgraded version of GBIC.
SFP module (the volume is reduced by half compared to the GBIC module, and the number of ports can be more than doubled on the same panel.
Because the SFP module is basically the same as GBIC in function, it is also called Mini-GBIC (Mini-GBIC) by some switch manufacturers.
The SFP module further compresses the size and power consumption by putting CDR and electric dispersion compensation outside the module. Used in optical communication applications in telecommunications and data communications. SFP connects the motherboard and optical fiber or UTP cable of network equipment such as switches, routers and other equipment. SFP is an industrial specification supported by some fiber optic component providers.
SFP supports SONET, Gigabit Ethernet, Fiber Channel and some other communication standards. This standard is extended to SFP+, which can support 10.0 Gbit/s transmission rate, including 8 gigabit Fibre Channel and 10GbE. Introduced the optical fiber and copper core version of the SFP+ module version. Compared with the Xenpak, X2 or XFP version of the module, the SFP+ module keeps part of the circuit on the main board instead of the module.
