MIXEDCAST #258: Facebook Metaverse-Vision

In episode #258 of MIXEDCAST we talk about the great vision of the future of Facebook: the Metaverse. What’s behind it? Is there anything behind this?

Facebook wants to be a metaverse company

In about five years, Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg wants to make sure Facebook continues to grow its social media core and treat it as a “metaverse company.”

However, Zuckerberg isn’t quite ready to put this metaverse into concrete terms just yet.

For example, he says: Should the metaverse span multiple devices and companies, it should also be a place for digital encounters and stuff — but VR or AR isn’t a prerequisite for admission tickets. Smartphones or PCs and even game consoles should provide access.

Feels like the internet with a little XR on top? Somehow yes, but according to Zuckerberg it will be much more than that: The Metaverse to be conceived as the “successor to the mobile Internet”.

Got it? No? Not even with us. Simply follow us to the narrow limits of our imagination and develop better ideas of your own. Because Facebook wouldn’t have even imagined 1980.
