“I want it to exist, but I have very good reason to believe that doing metaverse builds isn’t really the best way to do it,” Oculus CTO John Carmack said during the Facebook Connect event. Oculus VR is a company that specializes in virtual reality hardware and software products. Founded in 2012, it quickly gained a niche in the market and two years later it was acquired by then-Facebook for $2.3 billion. In November 2015, the company partnered with Samsung to develop the Samsung Gear VR, the virtual reality headset for the Samsung Galaxy range of phones. John Carmack, in turn, is a legend in the programming, entertainment and video game worlds. He co-founded id Software, and was the lead programmer for classic games such as Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, Quake, Rage, and others. He has served as Oculus’ chief technology officer since 2013. However, in his opening speech at the event, Carmack described the metaverse as a “trap for architectural astronauts.” He explained that it is a “pejorative and derogatory term” used to describe “a class of programmers or designers who just want to talk about ideas at the highest level about broad concepts”, without worrying about the logistical details of how to implement them in practice. On October 28, Mark Zuckerberg surprised the world by announcing the change of the company’s name to Meta. The new acquisition will cover Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp apps, but will focus on developing virtual and augmented reality to bring the web browsing experience to a new level and integrate it into women’s daily lives.
