An attendee waits in line to try out new virtual reality (VR) applications during the F8 Developer Conference in San Jose, California, U.S., on Tuesday, April 18, 2017. During his keynote, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg laid out his strategy for augmented reality, saying the social network will use smartphone cameras to overlay virtual items on the real world rather than waiting for AR glasses to be technically possible.

Facebook Inc will allow anyone to freely download and use the same artificial intelligence tools it used to make key improvements to the social network’s video and notification features as well as its Messenger messaging app. 

The software, which Facebook calls Horizon, will be available on the code repository GitHub starting Nov 2, the company said in a blog post Nov 1. GitHub is owned by Microsoft Corp.
