Zuckerberg reaffirmed his position in an investor call.
Earlier this year, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg unveiled an image of his avatar within his “metaverse” platform, Horizon Worlds. The avatar, depicted stoically in front of a scaled-down Eiffel Tower, became a target of memes and jests due to its slightly strange appearance, adding to the existing trend of metaverse-related humor. Recently, Zuckerberg discussed these memes with Meta investors during a conference call.
“I understand that sometimes when we release a product, there’s a tendency for people to create memes saying, ‘Hey, you’ve invested all this money and this is what you’ve produced,’ but I believe this isn’t the most accurate perspective,” Zuckerberg mentioned in the call, as reported by TechCrunch.
“We have various products and platforms in development, where we believe we’re pioneering efforts that will lead to the launch of consumer products and eventually more advanced products at varying intervals and stages over the next five to ten years,” he elaborated.
Zuckerberg expressed confidence in the advancements made by his team and asserted his belief in the future dominance of virtual reality and augmented reality technologies. Regarding Horizon Worlds, he acknowledged, “It still has a long journey ahead to reach our desired vision. We believe we’re making significant strides in this area, but there’s more work to be done in implementing it and driving further innovation.”
The memes that relentlessly mocked Mark Zuckerberg’s metaverse avatar seem to have struck a nerve with the CEO https://t.co/VFOOUvpuV6
