Facebook is rebranding itself based on a new vision. They want to create a “disruption” in current social media technology through the construction of the metaverse. One of the features of metaverse involves people interacting with each other in a “virtual reality” setting. They also want to expand on the services that they offer to assist people with their lives and business.<\/p>\n

“Our hope is that within the next decade, the metaverse will reach a billion people, host hundreds of billions of dollars of digital commerce, and support jobs for millions of creators and developers,” Zuckerberg wrote in a letter on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Over the past few years, the company has ramped up its efforts in hardware, introducing a line of Portal video-calling devices, launching the Ray-Ban Stories glasses and rolling out various versions of the Oculus virtual-reality headsets. The company has indicated that augmented and virtual reality will be a key part of its strategy in the coming years.<\/p>\n

The company also said this week it’d spend about $10 billion over the next year developing the technologies required for building the metaverse.<\/p>\n

Zuckerberg on Thursday provided a demonstration of the company’s ambitions for the metaverse.<\/p>\n

The demo was a Pixar-like animation of software the company hopes to build some day. The demo included users hanging out in space as cartoon-like versions of themselves or fantastical characters, like a robot, that represent their virtual selves. Zuckerberg used part of it to accuse other tech firms of stifling innovation with high developer fees.<\/p>\n

Zuckerberg said a lot of this is a long way off, with elements of the metaverse potentially becoming mainstream in five to 10 years. The company expects “to invest many billions of dollars for years to come before the metaverse reaches scale,” Zuckerberg added.<\/p>\n

“We believe the metaverse will be the successor to the mobile internet,” Zuckerberg said.<\/p>\n

Additionally, Meta announced a new virtual reality headset named Project Cambria. The device will be a high-end product available at a higher price point than the $299 Quest 2 headset, the company said in a blog post. Project Cambria will be released next year, Zuckerberg said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
