Metaverse | A New Way of Connecting with People
Metaverse was a big surprise when Meta, previously known as the Facebook Company, announced it in 2021. The idea of the metaverse is that you’ll be able to use virtual reality (VR) in your everyday life. For example, instead of going to your physical office or classroom, you’ll be able to put on your VR headset and go to a virtual office that you can customize to your liking. Meta is betting heavily on the metaverse as the next big step in technology. The company announced that it would invest over $50 million in this project. Combine that with the name change—which could also be because of Facebook’s reputation—and you get a new technology that we’re probably going to hear a lot of this year.
