"Wouldn't it be cool if you could travel in a virtual car and go to a virtual mall where there were virtual shops and you could walk around them and buy stuff?" Well no it wouldn't be cool. The internet is better than that already and most people who look at this think it's terrible because it is. If you produce something that is a facsimile of the real world it's always going to be a pale imitation. If you want people to adopt it, it has to be better in some important way that they care about.

This is a Meta announcement so of course it's about Meta, but it's not like WWDC coverage means only Apple makes computers, phones, and OSes.
