I think part of the plan is to build VR spaces and then connect them together. Take the "things" in that space and expose them to non-vr software clients. eg.

I think part of the plan is to build VR spaces and then connect them together. Take the "things" in that space and expose them to non-vr software clients. eg. maybe your vr home has digital art, but that art can also exist and be viewed in other mediums. Or you can all sit at home and watch VRTV with friends, but one friend just watches on their phone on the bus. Or a virtaul office desk, that can have coworkers visiting. The office server can be hosted on your corp servers (or, the social networking, maybe you self host your personal office), but when you leave to go virtually home, you're now in your home, hosted by fb nee meta.

Absolutely, the idea of a shared virtual office (as opposed to just a solitary home office) would be a realization of a VR metaverse. Of course, aside from meetings (where the whole point is to interact with other people), I think it remains to be seen whether the idea of a shared virtual office is actually something that anyone really wants, or whether it's simply a case of a lack of imagination from people who are so accustomed to the idea of shared office space that they try to shoehorn it into the virtual world without really considering if it makes sense to. Personally, if I'm going to be working in a virtual space, I'm going to be working somewhere in Earth's orbit, or under a tree on a hill on a rainy evening surrounded by fireflies, and not in a 3D-rendered cubicle.
