Vr is a subset of the ‘metaverse’. The metaverse isn’t really something new. It’s just a rebranding of the portion of our lives that are contained within the digital realm. On top of that there are obviously ideas for how to adapt and grow that space, which is all to be seen

The Metaverse, at least in theory, is the connection of all aspects of your digital existence into a seamless whole. It wouldn't be limited to Facebook, it would give you a digital identity you can freely carry between websites, VR environments and devices.

In reality of course none of that exists and Meta has so far not shown how they plan to accomplish that. Worse yet, Facebook is directly responsible for making things not seamless on the Internet and in VR. So I don't have much hope (or fear) of them actually being successful in building that. But their vision is a lot broader than just Facebook in VR.

Lol that’s fine. Metaverse isn’t specific to shitbook. You’re on the metaverse via hn. At the end of the day, I think it’s dumb. I’m just iron manning the justification of the rebrand
