Facebook is Now Meta ∞

Facebook is evolving fast. They're changing from a social media platform to an interactive 3D chat application with 360-degree video and immersive advertising experiences.

Introducing the metaverse

Facebook's new Metaverse, as CEO Mark Zuckerberg has called it, will be the next wave of online interaction for generations to come. In this blog post, we'll discuss how Facebook is building its vision of a new metaverse which is designed to bring people together in virtual reality spaces as we leap frog into the future.

This all happens at the same time as Facebook’s F-21 post about an open metaverse being released. It seems like the company wants to integrate into this virtual reality world and have its place in it - the META. This will be interesting, especially since Facebook already owns platforms such as Instagram, WhatsApp, and Messenger which they could easily bring together with their VR experiences.

- Facebook's mission is to bring people together and build relationships through social connections while also giving businesses powerful tools for reaching their customers, employees, and partners with engaging content.

Enter Metaverse: A shared virtual space in which users can socialize, communicate, and access services such as games or entertainment together while using head-mounted displays (HMDs).

- The company has been testing out virtual reality experiences since 2014 when it bought Oculus VR for $US one billion dollars at a time when many thought immersive technology was still decades away from mainstream audiences.

If you haven’t heard about it, Quest will be a set of augmented reality (AR) glasses that are built for the Metaverse as an access point into the immersive experience in which users can interact socially in real-time.

Meta will be good for business, right? That’s the question Facebook is trying to answer with their new glasses. Quest Glasses comes with a Snapdragon processor that will allow for content experiences without being tethered to a smartphone. Quest glasses, a product of the Oculus VR division, is part of what we can call Mark Zuckerberg's master plan: virtual reality domination.

Meta's users will use Quest Glasses to join the metaverse with augmented reality. The device has a camera, microphone, includes speakers, and is touch-enabled. It does not rely on an external app for Facebook connectivity but rather uses voice commands to connect directly to another user or post live videos of your surroundings in real-time.

These glasses are rumoured to replace phones because they can do everything that a phone currently does plus more like take photos/videos, stream video through Facebook META App & record audio with its built-in mic all at once without having to switch devices! They also have the added benefit of allowing users to share their surrounding experiences (with friends) as virtual experiences within gameplay.

Use cases are virtually endless.

The Metaverse use cases are many. Not only will advertisers use the metaverse to trade, but also companies will be in a position to grow their user base and improve the user experience.

It seems like Facebook continues with its attempt to create a social network metaverse. While we wait for more information from them regarding this topic, you must recognize that Facebook has been around long enough to know better than anyone what its users want. It's also unafraid of making big changes and is willing to invest in the future without any guarantee of success.

That’s why, on October 28th, 2021, it will be the company that defines the internet as we will come to know it with a new design - one that blends social networking with augmented reality.

Mark Zuckerberg seems unafraid of failure and ready for anything; his interactions with his followers show just how much he cares about them and their input into decisions like this one. We'll follow along as they make this happen because there aren't many companies out there who can say they were able to change an entire industry before 30!
