Couple quick things: Zuck's speaking has improved an incredible amount. So, props there.
Zuck's said a few variations of "building blocks are there" or "it is coming together" but also, "Even though it is still a long way off..."
This projection / demo video of the metaverse seems like a distraction to me. If FB doesn't have this to deliver, it is a lot like the old microsoft product concept videos. [1]
What is the intent? To see Zuck as a visionary? Does his speaking deeply on this subject attempt to position him / Meta as an authority?
Unless Facebook / Meta is setting expectations way lower than where they're about to deliver, I don't see how this will be viewed as anything other than a temporary salve to fill the vacuum sucking oxygen out of Facebook.

- baby 5y agoI mean, you gotta make people excited about the future, and I think they were successful in doing that here. They want to be an innovative company, as opposed to just a social network company, that's the pitch.

They could have talked about how they do innovative tech research across the spectrum. For example, they can reasonably take credit for react as a major open source contribution. Why not describe plans for doing the same in helping people build for the metaverse. It felt way too surface level to me.
