Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg shared some behind the scenes photos of the Oculus research lab in Redmond, Washington, which Facebook owns.
And among the photos we see Zuckerberg wearing gloves that work in virtual reality.
He wrote that he was able to shoot web from his wrist just like Spider-Man.

He also said the gloves let him type on a virtual keyboard So why is Zuckerberg showing off new VR gloves in a Facebook post about his little Oculus field trip?
