Camera Effects is for artists, designers and developers to build custom graphics for Facebook Camera. Frame Studio and AR Studio are new tools for developers to build masks, animations and more. Zuck demoed various AR experiences, including many that look similar to Snapchat's New World lenses, announced earlier on Tuesday.

FB spaces

Facebook announced the beta of Spaces, the company's social VR app. Spaces is an app for Oculus where users can interact with each other via their avatars. Users can also call friends who are not in the VR world via Messenger, interacting with them via floating 2D screens.

"People prefer to use Messenger to interact with companies," said David Marcus, Head of FB's Messenger. The developer platform now has over 100,000 developers building on it. Messenger bots are getting a massive overhaul with the all new Messenger Platform 2.0. The company is introducing better discovery on the app. He also expressed a desire to turn Messenger into the "yellow pages of messaging." Messenger updates also include Spotify and Apple Music integrations. Marcus also announced updates to Games by introducing rich game play and a Game tab in Messenger.
