Zuckerberg plans for Facebook, from a social network to a "metaverse"

Mark Zuckerberg has presented his vision to transform Facebook from a social media network into a "meta-company" in the next five years.

A metaverse is an online world where people can play, work and communicate in a virtual environment, often using VR (Virtual Reality) headphones. The CEO of Facebook described it as "an embodiment of the internet, instead of just looking at content on it".

According to the BBC , people should no longer live through the "small, shiny rectangles" that Zuckerberg calls phones.

"This is not really the way people get to interact. In many of the meetings we have today, we only see a web of faces on a screen. Even so, we do not process things," he said.

A metaverse app he provided as an alternative was able to virtually launch a 3D concert as well.

" You feel more present with other people as if you were in other places, having different experiences that you could not necessarily do in a 2D app or on a website, like dancing, for example, or types different fitness, " he said.

Facebook is also working on an "endless office" that allows users to create their ideal workplace through VR.

"In the future, instead of just doing this through a phone call, you will be able to sit like a hologram on my bed, or I will be able to sit like a hologram on your bed, and it will actually feel "If we are in the same place, even if we are in different countries or hundreds of kilometers away," he said. "I think this is really powerful. "
