The truth is that very few people believe that this is going to be real
They seem more like statements to attract new investment
Meta believes that one billion people will enjoy the metaverse in the next decade. It is a concept that nobody really understands and that many people are not passionate about, but the company he trusts that his metaverse is going to run smoothly. According to Digital Trends, Mark Zuckerberg stated that purchases of metaverse digital content would mean hundreds of billions of dollars for the company in 2030.
At the moment this has not been catalyzed, since its virtual reality department is bankrupting the company with billions of dollars invested in it. Only a small percentage of the population owns virtual reality hardware, and the major manufacturers have released few devices dedicated to augmented reality. In fact, this type of product does not excite a good part of the population.
Any modern computer, tablet or smartphone has enough performance to display very powerful content. But the experience that the metaverse is looking for is to use glasses with built-in screens. For what really at the moment everything indicates that Zuckerberg’s expectations are rather a kind of castles in the air to attract new investments.
