Over the past couple of years, Facebook has followed in the footsteps of Google and began branching out from its core social network offering, coming up with everything from open-source hardware data centres to connecting the entire world to the Internet via laser-backhaul drones flying at 60,000 feet. The company has branched out so much from its core offering, that it's even worried employees might be getting a bit lost.

Enter the Facebook pop-up at London's Bedford Square Garden, a huge conservatory that's packed with everything the company is working on: servers, Internet.org, AI, Oculus VR, and more. It's one giant blue temple of far-out tech devoted to the rapidly growing Zuckerberg empire. While the pop-up isn't open to the general public, press were given a quick look-in before it's turned over to invited guests from the tech community and employees that haven't had a chance to check it out while it was in the US.

So join me on a journey around the Facebook pop-up, where everything is blue and will "change the world." Here you can admire the skills of a computer being able to identify a small plastic elephant. And don't worry, while I did don an Oculus to check out the beautiful and heartwarming short cartoon Henry, I won't bore you with yet another set of VR demo impressions. After all, I wouldn't want you to get bored before you've even had a chance to try it for yourself.
