There is no official word from Facebook on whether or not they are working on a VR world similar to the one seen in Ready Player One, but it seems likely that they are at least exploring the possibility. With the release of the Oculus Rift headset, Facebook now has a way to bring VR to the masses, and it stands to reason that they would want to create a VR world that is as immersive and expansive as the one seen in the film.

That being said, it is also worth noting that Facebook has acquired a number of companies that are working on VR technology, so it is possible that they are simply stockpiling talent and resources for a future VR project. Only time will tell what Facebook has in store for the world of VR.

It does not appear that Facebook is currently working on a virtual reality world similar to the "OASIS" from Ready Player One. While there is evidence that Facebook has been looking into building a VR platform, there is currently no indication that it is working on a VR world similar to that in Ready Player One.

Facebook has been investing heavily in virtual reality and is making tremendous strides with its help. It is actively working on a technology called "Facebook Horizon," which is described as a “shared virtual world” where people can interact and explore. However, it does not appear that this technology will provide an experience similar to the one found in the world of Ready Player One.

That being said, the public is not privy to all of the development projects Facebook is working on. It could very well be that the company is developing an OASIS-like experience, but that has not been publicly known.

Ultimately, it does not appear that Facebook is currently working on a VR world as seen in Ready Player One, but that could change in the future.
