Mark Zuckerberg makes no secret of the fact that he is very interested in the phenomenon of augmented reality, and that he has a number of bold plans with Facebook in this direction. Facebook reportedly worked on smart glasses for quite a long time, and several different prototypes were created during development. The glasses should be part of the "metaverse" that Mark Zuckerberg plans to create, according to his own words. The Facebook metaverse should be a vast and powerful platform that should extend far beyond the capabilities of an ordinary social network. In this metaversion, according to Zuckerberg, the boundaries between virtual and physical space should be blurred, and users could not only shop and meet each other, but also work within it. Facebook is not afraid of virtual reality either. At the beginning of this year, for example, he presented custom VR avatars for virtual reality glasses, also presented at the beginning of June concept of own smart watch.
