Here's What Facebook's New DARPA-esque "Building 8" Lab May Work On
"By Mike Brown on April 14, 2016
Facebook has revealed the existence of a new group called “Building 8,” dedicated to researching and developing exciting new hardware products. “We’ll be investing hundreds of people and hundreds of millions of dollars into this effort over the next few years,” Mark Zuckerberg wrote in a Facebook post Wednesday, explaining that the team will be working based on the 10-year roadmap made public at the F8 conference.
Zuckerberg has hired Regina Dugan, the former head of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to spearhead the new lab.
So, what exactly could this secretive team be working on? Zuckerberg says the team will be working on “augmented and virtual reality, artificial intelligence, connectivity and other important areas.” Here’s what that means.
Augmented and virtual reality
The Wall Street Journal said that Building 8 will focus on making hardware similar to the 360-degree camera the company showed off earlier this week. The Facebook Surround 360 can capture everything in its surroundings in 3D, ideal for capturing video for virtual reality playback. The device is open-sourced, so hardware makers can come up with their own takes on the internals and build their own versions."

Google's Advanced Technology and Projects group (ATAP) is a skunkworks team and in-house technology incubator, created by former DARPA director Regina Dugan.
Controversy
On March 24, 2014, MIT Researcher Jie Qi was invited and met with Google ATAP to discuss her research and work with electronic (LED) books. During the meeting with Regina Dugan and other ATAP employees she was offered a job. Qi, declined the offer to continue her PhD and research at MIT.
"Two years later Jie Qi discovered that those she met with at ATAP tried to patent her work without her consent or knowledge."

"A number of key ATAP employees left Google in August 2016 to join Dugan at Building 8. Those included ATAP’s Chief Operating Officer, Richard Wooldridge, head of product engineering Rafa Camargo, head of product management Olivier Bartholot and head of customer care Donald Hicks.
Hicks left Facebook in May, and Wooldridge left the company in August, according to their LinkedIn profiles."
