The "Metaverse" predates Zuck. It's pretty much an common description of online immersion as much as the idea of a multiverse is a common term.

Zuck was eight when the idea was popularly coined.

Still Zuck in this case though. The Quest is the Facebook... oh, excuse me, Meta VR headset.

Zucciniberg is involved.

What could go wrong ?

Oh, my bad. I stand corrected.

Thought that they were using "Meta" in the non-branded sense.

Seems like Disney can't figure out what to do with this space and this is a short-term solution.

Cool. During my trip. Can't wait.

Yup, cus it's limited time only, May to July. Apparently the replacement for the entire thing is in development though.

 

[Trauma]

The most shocking part of all of this is that it’s free.

Well I’m sure Meta is paying for this, but it’s like this was setup without Chapek being informed.

They're smart enough not to overcommit this time. Looks like another people eater for the summer only. Will people make use of it while in DS? We'll just have to see.

I hear The Zuck himself appears in person in the VR setup.

I read Snow Crash long, long ago.

I refuse to accepts Zuck's usurpation!

 

[Trauma]

So will you need to sign up for Facebook to experience this?


I don’t want the Ministry of Truth tracking me.

NBA Experience will slowly return to being Disneyquest. The world is healing.

You seemed to be struggling there…just making sure you didn’t have a tainted mackerel or something for lunch?

But as far as this oculus thing goes - and I love it because I loved the Void - I’m just worried that the tickets/attendance is gonna 37% on the second day…

Probably my 3rd thought

 

[brideck]

Tales from the Galaxy's Edge... so this is just a public space to play the VR game that first came out in 2020, right? Which is cool, I suppose, since I'm never going to buy an Oculus headset for myself.

 

[NelsonRD]

Nope.
