Facebook sets up new team to work on the ‘metaverse’

Facebook is creating a product team to work on the “metaverse,” a digital world where people can move between different devices and communicate in a virtual environment, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said on Monday.

The team will be part of the company’s virtual reality organization, the group’s executive Andrew Bosworth said in a Facebook post.

“You can think about the metaverse as an embodied internet, where instead of just viewing content – you are in it,” CEO Mark Zuckerberg told The Verge in an interview last week.
