They made the horizontal strategy clear.

Expect VR assets in the Facebook feed, and this to slowly bleed into AR items.

That's the thin end of the wedge for wider adoption.

Like what? I've been thinking about this and I'm having a hard time coming up with something that would get my relatives to buy a headset.

They have a new 3D object content type for the feed, which can be rotated and such by tilting your phone; has some support for AR using the phone camera. The assets come from their modelling app and such.

Full WebVR content will follow. They're easing the masses into VR via changes to the feed.
