So Meta dropped $73 billion on their metaverse project, and what do they have to show for it? A bunch of legless avatars sitting in a virtual conference room having a Zoom call. You know, the thing we could already do with a $15 webcam and free software.
The irony is absolutely chef's kiss here. They built an entire virtual reality universe with cutting-edge VR headsets, spatial audio, and god knows what else... just to recreate the exact same grid-view meeting experience we've all been suffering through since 2020. It's like buying a Ferrari to drive to your mailbox.
The real kicker? Those avatars are sitting in a gorgeous virtual office with mountain views while displaying a 2x2 video grid on a screen. They literally went full circle back to regular video conferencing, but now with extra steps and motion sickness. Peak innovation right there.
