Is this the end of the metaverse?
I mean, it was DOA so I guess my question is more: is this Zuckerberg acknowledging that the metaverse is dead, finally?
It's just AR glasses now rather than VR. Google and Apple want to bring these out, Meta has the Orion.
This is not dead.
The AR glasses project is also dead. They laid off the team working on the hardware shortly after Trump took office in a bunch of other layoffs.
Last I heard they’re actually doubling down. They were supposedly shifting away from games in a push towards more comprehensive Horizon Worlds integration. Like it will no longer be an app you launch but rather the environment you enter when donning the headset. I heard that a few weeks ago, though. It might be outdated already.
It was never alive. I'm not wearing dumb shit on my face.
