Facebook gives a glimpse of metaverse, its planned virtual reality world

Mark Zuckerberg has revealed a glimpse of Facebook’s plans to built the “metaverse” - a digital world built over our own, comprising virtual reality headsets and augmented reality.

The product launch came as the social media giant announced it will change the name of its holding company to Meta, in a rebrand that comes as the company faces a series of public relations crises

This feels like the beginning of a Black Mirror episode

I’m pretty sure there are shows, movies, and books on why this is a bad idea

I couldn't have left Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter at any more of a perfect time upon realizing that these companies are destroying civilization.

Downright terrifying. Imagine someone making a living out of a crypto salary from a 9-5 "job" inside the metaverse while the world just gets worse outside it. Looks pretty plausible to me.

I’ve deleted Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. No twitter, Snapchat, TikTok, etc. I’m only on YouTube and if you have my number. My life has never been more beautiful. And I’m keeping it this way.

This is inspiring. I'm breaking my computer and going out doors.

Mark missed the perfect Opportunity to be a lizard when they were at the table.

Well two years later and we can gladly declare this project was an absolute FAILURE

What is more scary is that, if you have no interest and nothing in this new virtuel world, you do not exist any more...

Mark acting like he has real friends....🤣 priceless

[rommix]

Mark only could have come with Meta during the pandemic. Now that it's dying down the Metaverse is pretty much dead in the water. People want to disconnect from their phones and go outside.

[ezelkir]

Wait. Hasn't sci-fi been warning us not to do this, specifically, for decades?

[iammaxhammer]

This world would be better if Mark just learned to talk to girls in high school 😂
