With the developing pace of future technology, it is time for Facebook to take one more step closer to social network rebranding. According to Facebook Connect 2021, the company decided to move further into what people believe in future technology.
Facebook has announced its wish to proceed further in the future with metaverse. Also, the company has stated that it would rebrand its name with Meta. After weeks of crucial inspection disclosed by a whistleblower, who leaked approximately thousands of internal documents and memos to lawmakers, the press, and regulators, Facebook attempted to turn the page by introducing its futuristic approach to technology.
For Mark Zuckerberg, the futuristic approach to technology is all about the digital era where people interact. Facebook’s CEO calls these worlds the “metaverse,” which will allow access to new categories of music, arts, business, and entertainment. With these plus points, Facebook has promised to provide privacy and interoperability.
During a presentation at Facebook Connect Conference, Zuckerberg stated, “if we all work at it, and within a decade, the metaverse will reach billion people, support jobs for millions of creators & developers, and host billions of dollars digital industries.” Also, he added, “we are committed to this.”
However, Facebook’s efforts for metaverse are still in progress, and as a part of it, the company has announced several software tools to be launched. These software tools will also contain advanced tech, which will allow people to control programs with their hands or voice. Additionally, the company is also expanding its hardware offerings.
Facebook is planning to enter the metaverse as the futuristic approach to technology.
The introduction of Meta came into effect, as Facebook faced huge controversies of all time. Over the past weeks, at least more than a dozen news outlets have circulated reporting stories on leaked Facebook documents, including a series that “The Wall Street Journal” published with the name “The Facebook Files.” These stories are written about internal research, debate, and memos, highlighting the company’s challenges while patrolling the social networks across the globe.
Zuckerberg conveyed these leaked documents on Monday that the company is trying to maintain the balance of free expression to reduce the risk of harmful content. Then he added into his statement how the company is planning to spend more than $5 billion on security and safety in 2021, as more than 40,000 employees work at Facebook. However, we all know how much content moderation is challenging in virtual reality.
On Thursday, Facebook hosted a virtual reality-focused conference and addressed his vision about how metaverse will play in the field. Also, during the gathering, it was revealed the company’s next-generation virtual reality headset, “Cambria.” Similar to other VR headsets, Cambria brings the virtual world closer to your eyes with a more advanced user experience.
The most hazing fact about virtual-reality headsets is motion sensors in the wearer’s face transmitting the emotions into the metaverse. Here, the most significant announcement out of Facebook’s pocket is the company’s rebranded name, “Meta.” To conclude, Zuckerberg is set to go beyond the technologies we are using today, just like the rebrand name “Meta.” Now, all we have to do is sit and wait for the metaverse to step into the digital world.
