To do so, the company is changing its name to Meta.<\/p>\n<p>With this Meta name and brand, Facebook won\u2019t be required to use the metaverse tools and ideas that Mark Zuckerberg and the company have.\u00a0\u201cRight now, our brand is so tightly linked to one product,\u201d he said. \u201cBut over time, I hope we are seen as a metaverse company,\u201d Zuckerberg said during his presentation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo reflect who we are and the future we hope to build, I\u2019m proud to share that our company is now Meta,\u201d Zuckerberg explained.<\/p>\n<p>Zuckerberg also wrote a blog post explaining a little more about what the name change means for Facebook, and it sounds like the corporate structure won\u2019t change, but the way the company reports earnings will.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Embedded Third-Party Content\" style=\"border: none; overflow: hidden;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/video.php?height=314&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Ffacebookrealitylabs%2Fvideos%2F561535698440683%2F&amp;show_text=false&amp;width=560&amp;t=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"314\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>At the event, which you can watch above, Mark Zuckerberg spent over an hour talking about all things metaverse and how it will shape the future. It sounds like Meta doesn\u2019t want to control the metaverse, but instead, just be a foundational part of it. \u201cOur role in this journey is to accelerate the development of the fundamental technologies, social platforms, and creative tools to bring the metaverse to life, and to weave these technologies through our social media <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>s,\u201d said Zuckerberg in a blog post.<\/p>\n<p>It sounds like Facebook as a social media site will still exist as part of Meta\u2019s offerings, but it won\u2019t be the company\u2019s main focus. \u201cFrom now on, we will be metaverse-first, not Facebook-first,\u201d said Zuckerberg.<\/p>\n<p>The company provided a few details about the future of VR and AR, including very limited sneak peeks at a future headset and its codename.<\/p>\n<p>The new VR headset, which Meta is calling Project Cambria, will sit on the higher end of the price spectrum and feature specs to match. This is probably the Oculus Pro we heard about recently, but we\u2019ll have to wait until more details are announced about the headset before we know for sure. It\u2019s scheduled to release in 2022, so we should learn more shortly.<\/p>\n<p>The team at Meta also talked about a new AR device called Project\u00a0Azeray. It sounds like this is quite a bit further out, but it promises to bring real AR experiences to incredible thin lenses.<\/p>\n<p><em>Developing story\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n setTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s) } (window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n   fbq('init', '335401813750447');\n   fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
