We spend a lot of time mediating our lives and communications through these shiny little rectangles. I don't think it's the best way to interact with other people ." Thus, last July and referring to smartphones, Mark Zuckerberg anticipated to The Verge the great presentation of the metaverse that would be held a few months later. “What virtual reality can provide, and what the metaverse will allow people to experience more generally, is a much more natural sense of being in presence than the way we are used to interacting online.” In October last year we had a taste of the potential of the virtual reality metaverse on which Mark Zuckerberg is betting everything , investing 10 billion dollars in 2021 alone and promising the creation of 10 thousand jobs in Europe.
In the now famous presentation held at Connect 2021 , in which he Germany Phone Number announced the rebranding of Facebook into Meta, Zuckerberg in fact showed what his idea of a metaverse is: an immersive world in virtual reality, into which to transfer a growing part of our everyday life : going inside it to work, go shopping, participate in events of all kinds and even meet the avatars of friends in our virtual homes. In this way, again according to the founder of Meta, we will overcome the limits of today's digital world, mediated by the two-dimensional screen of smartphones or computers, which forces us to interact in an unnatural and not at all immersive way and which therefore is not capable of to reproduce our interactions in the physical world with a sufficient level of realism.
But this is only the first step: again in the October presentation, Zuckerberg explained how an "open metaverse" could take shape tomorrow , which is therefore not limited to the proprietary platforms of a single company, but which instead connects all the virtual environments designed by Meta and other competitors who are entering this new technological world: from Microsoft to Epic Games, up to Nintendo and even Tinder .
