ExplainingTheFuture | The Metaverse: A Facebook Fantasy? @ExplainingTheFuture | Uploaded December 2021 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
Facebook has changed its name to “Meta”, and plans to evolve from a social media company into a virtual reality or “Metaverse” company. In the first of my monthly presentations, I discuss whether or not VR is the future of Internet access, as well as the role that may be played by future brain-computer interfaces (BCIs).
