. I don\u2019t know about you, but a lot of mornings, I reach for my phone by my bedside before I even put on my glasses, just to make sure, get whatever text messages I got during the middle of the night and make sure that nothing has gone wrong that I need to jump into immediately upon waking up. So I don\u2019t think that this is primarily about being engaged with the internet more. I think it\u2019s about being engaged more naturally.<\/p>\n And today, I think about the computing platforms that we have. We have these phones. They\u2019re relatively small. A lot of the time that we\u2019re spending, we\u2019re basically mediating our lives and our communication through these small, glowing rectangles. I think that that\u2019s not really how people are made to interact. A lot of the meetings that we have today, you\u2019re looking at a grid of faces on a screen. That\u2019s not how we process things either. We\u2019re used to being in a room with people and having a sense of space where if you\u2019re sitting to my right, then that means I\u2019m also sitting to your left, so we have some shared sense of space in common. When you speak, it\u2019s coming from my right. It\u2019s not just all coming from the same place in front of me.<\/p>\n I don\u2019t know how much you\u2019ve had this experience, but I have a bunch, in work meetings over the last year, where I sometimes find it hard to remember what meeting someone said something in because they all look the same and they all blend together. And I think part of that is because we don\u2019t have this sense of presence in space. What virtual and augmented reality can do, and what the metaverse broadly is going to help people experience, is a sense of presence that I think is just much more natural in the way that we\u2019re made to interact. And I think it will be more comfortable. The interactions that we have will be a lot richer, they\u2019ll feel real. In the future, instead of just doing this over a phone call, you\u2019ll be able to sit as a hologram on my couch, or I\u2019ll be able to sit as a hologram on your couch, and it\u2019ll actually feel like we\u2019re in the same place, even if we\u2019re in different states or hundreds of miles apart. So I think that that is really powerful….<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" *Mark Zuckerberg personally describes some of his company’s ambitions to transform Facebook into an immersive 3D environment. https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/22588022\/mark-zuckerberg-facebook-ceo-metaverse-interview (…) .
