New metaverse developments on Connect
More interesting is Connect, which will take place again ‘later this year’. Last year during Connect it was announced that Facebook will call itself Meta and that it will focus on developing the so-called ‘metaverse’.
Also this year, Meta plans to make announcements in the field of ‘virtual reality, augmented reality and the metaverse platform’. The metaverse is a kind of shared social reality. Different companies have different views on this metaverse, but Facebook is envisioning a comprehensive social VR and AR experience where users can play games, shop, and develop their businesses.
