New documents reveal Facebook is looking to change people’s perception of the world. The firm appears to be planning for wearers of its smart glasses to be absorbed in their own ‘artificial reality’ as they go about daily life. Some critics are calling the plan ‘very black mirror’ but others welcome the tech as a new way to stay connected. Plus, Amazon’s new security drone raises privacy fears, the world’s first hydrogen powered commercial airplane takes flight, and Fortnite prepares to celebrate its 3rd birthday.
