17 years ago, Mark Zuckerberg brought Facebook to market. Today he tries to reinvent the future and is committed to the metaverse, a totally immersive new world that exists online.
This is a preview of the future. What exactly will we see? It is not clear, but this new world will be different: it will be built for people to live and work, plus it will be able to play in the form of virtual reality.

One of the main solutions Facebook is working on with the Metaverse is to make virtual work life much more real and human. Currently working on an alternative to video calls. Workrooms are meeting rooms where you can see and interact with your co-workers both by voice and motion.
This would also make it possible for collaborators to be anywhere in the world and join the same meeting, see the same people and interact with them in a more human way. In addition, with this technology, the opportunity is presented for companies to hire talented people from another continent and have more real interactions that can translate into better results with remote jobs.
The metaverse is something completely disruptive, even Zuckerberg told his employees that they will focus on building and developing the successor of the Internet referring to the Metaverse.
