Life and Learning in the Metaverse, with Adam Seldow and Monica Arés from Meta
The metaverse is envisioned as the successor to the mobile internet — a set of interconnected digital spaces that lets you do things you can’t do in the physical world. A key feature is that it will be characterized by social presence, the feeling that you’re right there with another person, no matter where in the world you happen to be. In keeping with that vision, Facebook has a new brand for the company, Meta, to better reflect its focus moving forward. This is an exciting new chapter for the company, and Adam and Monica are excited to help bring learning in the metaverse to life. While the metaverse is still a ways off, parts of it are already here — and even more are on the horizon. This episode will describe work in development to improve virtual and augmented reality as we know them now and the steps that can help realize the full social potential of the metaverse in the future.
