Quote:Aside from Zuckerberg’s comments, Facebook has been steadily laying the groundwork for a greater focus on the next generation of technology. This past summer it set up a dedicated metaverse team. More recently, it announced that the head of AR and VR, Andrew Bosworth, will be promoted to chief technology officer. And just a couple of days ago Facebook announced plans to hire 10,000 more employees to work on the metaverse in Europe.

The metaverse is “going to be a big focus, and I think that this is just going to be a big part of the next chapter for the way that the internet evolves after the mobile internet,” Zuckerberg told The Verge’s Casey Newton this summer. “And I think it’s going to be the next big chapter for our company too, really doubling down in this area.”

So Facebook is announcing soon that they are rebranding and will shift focus to development of the "metaverse" which Zuckerberg believes is the next major stage of the internet, parallel to the shift that mobile internet was from desktop.

I actually think this is really cool, Facebook with its machine of very smart people and billions of dollars could pull this off. 
What do you guys think of this? Will it work could we all have AR Glasses on just like we all have a smart phone in our pocket?
