Oct 2021, CEO Mark Zuckerberg introduced Meta, which brings together apps and technologies under one new company brand. 

Meta’s focus and goal will be to bring the metaverse to life and help people connect, find communities and grow businesses online.

The Metaverse will feel like a hybrid of today’s online social experiences, sometimes expanded into three dimensions or projected into the physical world. 

It will let you share immersive virtual experiences with other people, friends, colleagues, family even when you can’t be together — and do things together you couldn’t do in the physical world. It’s the next evolution in a long line of social technologies, and it’s ushering in a new chapter.

Launch of Meta  brings together augmented and virtual reality developers, content creators, marketers and others to celebrate the industry’s momentum and growth. 

This year’s virtual event explored what experiences in the metaverse could feel like over the next decade — from social connection, to entertainment, gaming, fitness, work, education and commerce.

Mark announced new tools to help people build for the metaverse, including Presence Platform, which will enable new mixed reality experiences on Quest 2, and a $150-million investment in immersive learning to train the next generation of creators

Meta builds technologies that help people connect, find communities, and grow businesses. 

When Facebook launched in 2004, it changed the way people connect. Apps like Facebook Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp further empowered billions around the world. Now, Meta is moving beyond 2D screens toward immersive experiences like augmented reality and virtual reality to help build the next evolution in social technology.
