Facebook is kicking off day two of its annual F8 Developer Conference in San Francisco on Thursday with a keynote that will shed new light on what the social network has in store.

Facebook's chief technology officer Mike Schroepfer and Oculus chief scientist Michael Abrash will take the stage to discuss the future of gaming, media, commerce and virtual reality.

We may hear an update on Facebook's plan to build drones, satellites and lasers as a part of its effort to bring web connectivity to the 4 billion people worldwide without Internet access.
