Mark Zuckerberg’s metaverse vision is over. Can Apple save it?
- jruohonen 3y ago"In a piece of research commissioned by Meta this month, the Deloitte consultancy said that the metaverse could contribute “between £40bn and £75bn in additional GDP [gross domestic product]” to the UK alone by 2035." Just shows how consultancy companies are deeply involved in the hype and how delusional they are.
- rvz 3y agoThis metaverse 'vision' from Zuck IS more focused around AR based vision, than it will be all around based on VR. Apple is merely a single platform competitor, but Zuckerberg already has Oculus products on multiple platforms with AI-based vision research to continue to be ahead with AR,VR and XR (mixed reality). It would be incredibly ridiculous of Apple for their XR headset to work only on Macs. But we will see what Apple announces, but the same mistakes of the repeated under estimation of Meta's performance is repeated again since almost everyone forgot that they were also in AI as well as XR, and Apple is weaker in their footprint in AI. I expect Apple to announce some breakthroughs in AI to compete against Meta but overall... The death of Meta Platforms Inc. (Formerly Facebook Inc.) has been greatly exaggerated. The same outlets that were screaming of Meta 'dying' over its stock price hitting $88 [0] are now the same ones that didn't buy in its recovery [1] and many listened to the nonsense and complete FUD pieces like this one.
