First let me say this, I worked on AR Technology back in 2010 and since then believed in AR/VR. I am using Oculus Quest 2 from around a year now. Metamates created amazing VR software in Meta. A year ago there used to be few people like me hanging around Horizon(Mera) Worlds but now crowd is more but mostly teenagers. To me business wise future of Meta with metaverse is very fuzzy. I highly doubt adoption of metaverse in the general public. There would be people like me who would like and use metaverse but not masses like FB/Whatsapp/Instagram users. I honestly think after acquiring Oculus, Zuckerberg should have kept it as a subsidiary of FB, instead going all in into VR/Metaverse. Happy to hear from metamates, what do they think about Zuckerberg's metaverse dream?
Meta as a company won’t exist in 5 years
And Uber in 2 years 😅
Lol, I don’t care about Uber! Don’t be so attached mate!
Your heading is more blunt than your views on Meta, why so?
I agree here, I came to the article to get an idea of what exactly is happening in this person’s mind. And it was just a brain fart.
I simply don't feel comfortable wrapping my head with a device
I think it’s their only opportunity to survive. If they don’t invest heavily in AR/VR — they probably won’t be relevant for very long.
They can keep buying the next great social media app as they did with insta and WhatsApp- May be come up with a solid ar/ vr product when the market is ready. Looking at Apple they should know that being a first mover is really overrated - barring may be for the sake of a few patents. They could save a lot of time and money.
What if Zuck tells us that we are already in the metaverse? Have you thought outside the box?
What do you mean by being in Metaverse? If one can be in metaverse without knowing/paying how will Meta make money?
I think VR has the potential to be huge. There’s two major improvements it needs. 1) Form factor to make it smaller and more comfortable 2) Better input using just your hands and no controllers (what multi-touch did to mobile). I think content and better apps would come soon after. This may take a while or never happen we’ll see.
Good points! The second I think is doable, Kinect-like sensor attached to a headset or something like that. The first one prob never happen without breakthrough in mobile power sources.
No one really believes in it and he just cut off the old business to keep it afloat longer. Burning everything we built over the years for some long term very risky bet and if the metaverse is a thing, no one will want meta to control it. It will destroy the company. Management has basically pissed off everyone, I can think of a single group that is in his camp currently.
We should stop using the name “metaverse”. Right now it is just horizon world and nothing else, and it sucks and will always do. It will fail for sure. VR is cool though, waiting for quest 3
Ya it is basically vaporware now.
It def has wow effect the first time. The problem tho, there is literally nothing to do on a regular basis. Lightsaber for occasional parties and Supernatural for fitness are the only real applications I can think of.
Zuck is to meta as hitler was to Germany, both dictators living/ed in delusion that their idea will conquer the world! One had to take his life the other will cut thousands of jobs
