It took a minute but I found the hugely elaborate and expensive >hour-long video Meta showed in Oct 2021 to announce and pitch the Metaverse concept (along with renaming the company). Almost everything in it is simulated by pre-rendered mock-ups. It's interesting to skim through and compare the vision with what's shipping today after 4 1/2 years of intensive development and >$100B. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uvufun6xer8


Somehow they made something inferior to VR chat as it existed when zuck began this farce. Something gets ruined when too much money is just dumped on a vague idea too quickly. If they had 2% of the budget I assert it would have ultimately sucked less, but still been worse then VR chat.
