Meta’s Metaverse
Leading off the pack is a company that single-handedly managed to shift the industry’s attention towards today’s hottest buzzword and change its own brand name in the process. Meta has spent years building up its VR and AR portfolio and has even begun work on its own early versions of the metaverse with its Horizons and Horizons Workrooms platforms.
Looking ahead, Meta is also seeking to eventually incorporate its more future-facing tech, including wrist wearable neural inputs, advanced AR glasses, and smartwatches, into a further off metaverse it previously described as “the next era of human-computer interaction.”
Hobbling the company’s ambitions is the fact that many people hate Facebook but a recent poll showed most Americans hate Meta and Mark Zuckerberg even more.
