A person with a virtual lion head plays chess with a remote user that looks like the dead characters in Star Wars. A frame of one of the videos shown by Zuck. They were just there to make people understand easily what the metaverse is and will be. They showed that the metaverse will encompass all technologies (from phones to AR and VR headsets), all shades of reality, to let us connect and perform activities together like playing, working, traveling, staying fit, etc… The videos were fake and had no intention to show how the metaverse will be, and the same Mark admitted “there’s a ton we don’t know yet”. They used videos with fake CGI effects to convey the concept of what we will be able to do in the metaverse. Zuckerberg and all the other executives spent around 70 minutes just to tell everyone what is the metaverse, and what is the vision that Facebook has for it. This event was instead all about explaining what is the metaverse.
Previous events were all about hardware announcements, games announcements, long talks about mindblowing R&D projects. The rest of the event has been different than the previous Oculus/Facebook Connects.
When the Connect started, we were all expecting a long session in the keynote about some new hardware announcements, while actually, Zuck told immediately that he wouldn’t have wanted to focus the keynote on hardware, but on talking about the metaverse. Meta has been the last news mentioned at this Connect, but actually all the event was conceived just to arrive at this final announcement.
