This Thursday, the 28th, the Facebook Conect event finally revealed Metaverso's vision for the platform. Presented by Mark Zuckerberg, the presentation showcased some of the possibilities for individual worlds that are in development. p2z5o
A concept of the future… 4lm5q
First of all, the CEO emphasized the evolution of the Facebook over the years and how we relate to technology through mobile devices such as our cell phones. The idea of a next evolution of the social network is to change the way we connect with our family, friends, work, leisure, etc.
The metaverse is this evolution of the mobile internet, according to Zuckerberg. However, it is still difficult to talk about this concept, because let's say it exists, but it doesn't fully exist yet. It's a work in progress that should start to become mainstream "media" in the next 5 or 10 years, following the company's expectation.
First, the personal profiles will be transformed into detailed 3D avatars of that , so that in this new connection of people, there will be a feeling of real presence, so to speak, through the perception of body, facial expressions, etc. “In the future, avatars will be as common as profile pictures today,” commented Mark.
This will also be possible thanks to Home Spaces, that is, a kind of home for these avatars, where players will be able to invite friends to interact and transport themselves to other worlds. In addition, there will be the possibility for s to create and customize their homes in the metaverse.
Horizon 3270
Speaking of worlds, while the CEO of Facebook explains about the concept it is important to point out that this process is something like a continuous update, full of updates, and not simply an overnight release. However, the company's kick-off appears to be with Horizon, the social platform built for people to create and interact in the metaverse.
A part of this is Horizon Home, the initial vision of a more familiar environment for the project. This will be the first place the will be when they put on their virtual reality glasses or headset, and in the future they will be able to completely customize this space. In fact, the most important component of this equation will also be added soon: people.
On the other hand, there is Horizon Worlds, which will basically be a great tool or space for creating worlds, places, spaces, to be with people and socialize virtually in that world. Zuckerberg says that Worlds is being designed to be very accessible and that anyone can create whatever they want without too much difficulty.
For work, there will be Horizon Workrooms, which, as the name suggests, will be the right platform for collaboration and work. Just imagine what it would be like to work from home, as in the current stage of the pandemic, but interacting in a dimensional way with your company's headquarters and the people who are there to facilitate the development of projects, presentations, meetings, etc.
Metaverse Afterparty qa57
Although the presentation of the metaverse was very visual, it is still a little difficult to accurately measure all the possibilities of the ads, but the Metaverse Afterparty attracts a lot of attention. Imagine an event or concert platform so that audiences and fans can interact virtually after those performances are over in real life: after the party.
Interaction between plans 3o1a48
One of the great ideas of the metaverse is the possibility of interaction between the physical plane and the virtual plane in which these worlds are inserted. Mechanisms are currently being developed to digitize 3D objects into the virtual world and be used in these spaces, as well as the opposite: the deep and sensitive interaction of immaterial objects in the real world.
It sounds crazy, and without some experimentation it's really hard to believe this could work, but for this image of Mark Zuckerberg interacting with a 3D keyboard layout, it might start to get easier to understand.
GAMES 3722u
The idea of a metaverse can look a lot like a game in virtual reality or augmented reality, and yes, that will be one of the pillars of the project. Through the worlds it will be possible to gather friends and have fun moments, performing activities such as surfing or RPG games. There are many ways to explore…
Facebook wants more and more games to be interactive and immersive with people all over the world. Incidentally, the games that maintain connection with the social network are extremely popular and addictive.
Sports 2bc1h
If your beach is more geared towards the world of sports and physical activities…there will be worlds like that too. The idea is pretty cool, and just put on your Oculus Quest and ride with your friends out there, but you're actually physically at home, riding your stationary bike.
The same goes for boxing matches, fencing and even dancing without having to leave the house. In fact, the concept is broader, as you can even be in a gym or in a classroom, but also interacting with people from Japan.
For this, Facebook will be selling and developing specific accessories for the practice of sports. These devices are expected to be on the market by 2022.
learning and practice 6i3a5v
The Facebook metaverse should also be of great value to students. There is the possibility to create projects and worlds focused on research, reconstruction of historical environments, learning to repair a complex machine and even studying human anatomy in an operating room.

In addition to the platform itself, the Facebook is investing approximately 150 million dollars for AR and VR. This is one of the ways to start populating the platform with more s and content on a constant basis.
As with the internet itself as we know it today, there will be different types of creators, from those to create worlds, services or experiences. And it is worth emphasizing again that the metaverse does not have a predetermined beginning, middle or end: it is a gradual evolution and in constant continuity.
There are even those who say that the glasses he released with the Ray-Ban.
Project Cambria 1n1m2w
Mentioned briefly during the presentation, Project Cambria is the next big step for Facebook in of devices for virtual reality. The device has been developed with high performance technology to enable the best and largest type of integration with the metaverse. However, the company emphasizes that this is not a “new” Oculus Quest, but a new generation of devices.
The beginning of a new era of virtual networks 2w3l3o
It would be practically impossible to tell everything that the Facebook plans for your metaverse. In fact, it is something so ambitious that possibly not even the company knows where it will go. The event also commented on an internal economy of this virtual world, but it was still not so well explained how this will work.
In addition, one of the central points concerns privacy. While Zuckerberg and other guests say the metaverse will respect each 's individual data, it's really hard to believe that big tech companies are being careful with our virtual lives, and directly, our real lives.
The future looks bright, but there is still a long way to go. There is so much unknown amidst so many big announcements, and we need to be aware of the technological changes that the coming years will bring.
