Into the Metaverse: Virtual Reality or Virtual Fantasy?
In October of 2021, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg rebranded their organization to “Meta,” promising to bring the Metaverse to life and bring a virtual social platform into our daily lives. Just over a year later, the company has shrunk by over US$650 billion and laid off 11,000+ of their employees. What does this mean for Zuckerberg’s dream of a connected digital landscape? Is VR the future of our lives or will it become another abandoned project?
Firas, Talha, and Simon sit down to discuss what the Metaverse could mean for social connection, entertainment, gaming, work, and education – they also weigh the pros and cons of Zuckerberg’s virtual reality platform and what our lives could be like through a Virtual Reality Headset.
