Oculus Rift helmet to send a lot of information

According to the technology website Digitaltrends, Facebook spent $ 2 billion to acquire Oculus 2 years ago, which soon aroused concerns about privacy in the industry.Oculus Rift virtual reality helmets have been released publicly, and the concerns of industry insiders seem to be "groundless."A "sharp -eyed" user found a "always" background service that sends the information collected by the virtual reality helmet to the Facebook server.Oculus Rift's privacy policy is also disturbing.

After installing the Oculus Home software on Oculus Rift, it is called OVRSERVER_X64.EXE. The process of detecting the virtual reality helmet with a complete system permissions will send data to the Facebook server.A Reddit user found that even if the Oculus Home software is closed, the speed of the OVRSERVER_X64.EXE process can reach up to 7MB/s.

Reading Oculus Rift's privacy policy will find more "mystery".One of the clauses said that "according to the user's service method", Facebook may collect information related to other services used by games, content, applications, and users.According to the precise location of the equipment determined by the GPS signal, the WIFI network, and the mobile phone tower, the information related to the user "training activities".

Facebook also said, "third parties may also collect user information through service."

Privacy policies say that the collected information will be used to help create accounts, provide services to users, and help improve user experience. This information will also be used to help Facebook "advertise to users."

Facebook's privacy policy is clear and not surprising.But it is also a warning: sooner or later, a large number of advertisements will appear in the emerging virtual reality field.
