WELCOME TO THE METAVERSE WELL NOT REALLY BECAUSE THE METAVERSE IS SUPPOSED TO BE VIRTUAL I THINK
THAT'S THE NEXT BIG THING BUT TODAY META IS OPENING THIS STORE FOR KIDS YOU KNOW THEY
A LOT OF SCHOOLING IS BEING DONE ON ZOOM CALLS SO THEY CAN MAKE USE OF THE HEADSET AND EXPERIENCE
THINGS IN IT I'M REALLY EXCITED FOR THE GLASSES IT LOOKS REALLY INTERACTIVE META IS THE PARENT
COMPANY OF FACEBOOK WHATSAPP INSTAGRAM AND MESSENGER SO WHY IS FACEBOOK'S COMPANY OPENING A
PHYSICAL LOCATION THEY LOVE FACEBOOK THEY ARE GREAT SUPPORTERS THIS COMPANY HAS ALREADY SPENT
MORE THAN 10 BILLION DOLLARS ON THE METAPHOR GOING ALL IN HOPING THAT THE FUTURE OF OUR WORK
MEETINGS AND EVEN SOCIAL GATHERINGS WILL BE DONE IN A VIRTUAL WORLD BUT THIS IS ITS FIRST
EVER PHYSICAL STORE THERE ARE THREE MAIN PRODUCTS THAT YOU CAN BUY HERE AT THE META STORE THE FIRST
PRODUCT YOU SEE IS CALLED PORTAL YOU CAN THINK OF FACEBOOK PORTAL KIND OF LIKE A COMBINATION OF AN
IPAD MEETS ALEXA YOU CAN PUT IT IN YOUR KITCHEN LOOK UP RECIPES OR CALL YOUR FAMILY THEY REALLY
WANT YOU TO START DOING YOUR ZOOM CALLS FROM THIS DEVICE INSTEAD OF FROM YOUR LAPTOP YOU
CAN BUY ONE OF THESE FOR ABOUT 180 DOLLARS THE SECOND PRODUCT YOU SEE IS THE OCULUS BUT IT'S
NOW GOING TO BE CALLED QUEST IT'S BASICALLY THE VR HEADSET THE QUEST VIRTUAL REALITY HEADSET IS MEANT
FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO PLAY GAMES MEDITATE EVEN WATCH VIDEOS AND SPORTS BUT ONE DAY WE COULD BE
USING THIS FOR MEETINGS AND MORE THE HEADSET COSTS ABOUT THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS I JUST RECENTLY GOT
AN OCULUS I'VE USED UH SOME OF THE APPS WHERE YOU CAN BUILD 3D MODELS IN THE VIRTUAL SPACE YEAH WITH
THE CONTROLLERS YOU CAN GET THEM PRINTED FOR THE FIRST MONTHS I USED IT A LOT BUT AFTER A MILES I
YEAH VIRTUAL REALITY WAS ACTUALLY REALLY FUN I DID A WORKOUT AND IT WAS SUPER INTENSE YOU
REALLY DON'T FEEL LIKE YOU'RE WORKING OUT BECAUSE YOU'RE SO FOCUSED ON THE GAME ASPECT OF IT SO
I COULD DEFINITELY SEE HOW PEOPLE COULD START TO BUY THIS AND BECOME ADDICTED TO IT AND HAVE
FUN WITH IT AND THEN THE THIRD PRODUCT IS THIS THIS IS THE FACEBOOK RAY-BAN GLASSES THEY CAME
TO MARKET LAST YEAR THERE ARE TWO CAMERAS INSIDE THE GLASSES ARE A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN RAY-BAN AND
FACEBOOK YOU CAN BUY A PAIR FOR ABOUT 300 AND IT FILMS IN SQUARE AND YOU CAN JUST SAY HEY FACEBOOK
START RECORDING AND IT'LL START RECORDING IT'S VOICE CENSORED IT SEEMED LIKE ABOUT HALF OF THE
PEOPLE IN LINE ARE ACTUALLY EMPLOYEES BECAUSE THIS STORE IS AT A META CAMPUS THERE IS A LOT OF
EMPLOYEES THAT WORK FOR METTA HAVING LUNCH THEY WORK HERE THEIR OFFICES ARE UPSTAIRS
OVERALL IT'S GOING TO BE VERY INTERESTING TO SEE IF THESE THREE PRODUCTS SUCCEED
AND IT'S ALSO GOING TO BE INTERESTING TO SEE IF THEY OPEN MORE OF THESE STORES I THINK RIGHT NOW
THESE PRODUCTS HAVE A VERY NICHE THING THAT THEY'RE TRYING TO SOLVE IT'S NOT LIKE THEY'RE
SELLING A PHONE OR A LAPTOP WHERE PEOPLE SEE THE VALUE IN HAVING THOSE THINGS THESE PRODUCTS WILL
TAKE A LITTLE BIT MORE CONVINCING I ALREADY HAVE THE GLASSES I DID CONSIDER BUYING THE PORTAL TODAY
AND I ALSO CONSIDERED BUYING THE HEADSET BUT I REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED LAST TIME I BOUGHT AN
OCULUS HEADSET ABOUT FIVE YEARS AGO I USED IT FOR A COUPLE WEEKS AND THEN IT STARTED TO COLLECT DUST
IT'LL BE INTERESTING TO SEE IF THIS COMPANY CAN GET OVER PEOPLE THINKING LIKE THAT AND GET OVER
THAT MASSIVE CHALLENGE OF PEOPLE WONDERING YOU KNOW DO I REALLY NEED THIS SO HERE'S WHAT I THINK
FIRST OF ALL THE PORTAL WAS REALLY INTERESTING ON ONE HAND YOU CAN KIND OF LOOK AT THE PORTAL AND
JUST SAY IT'S KIND OF LIKE A LAPTOP OR AN IPAD WHICH IS TRUE BUT ONE THING THAT MADE IT REALLY
UNIQUE IS THE WAY THAT IT WAS STRUCTURED SO IT'S KIND OF LIKE ANGLED SO YOU CAN KIND OF LIKE PUT
IT ON YOUR COUNTER YOU CAN PUT IT ON YOUR DESK YOU CAN PUT IT LIKE ON THE FLOOR AND DO YOGA OF COURSE
YOU COULD DO THAT WITH A LAPTOP TOO BUT IT'S KIND OF JUST MEANT FOR BEING YOUR VIDEO FRIEND IT'S NOT
MEANT FOR WORK THERE IS NO KEYBOARD SO IS THIS A NECESSARY PRODUCT THAT PEOPLE NEED ABSOLUTELY NOT
BUT IS IT A PRODUCT THAT PEOPLE WILL PROBABLY START TO BUY AND PROBABLY START TO USE BECAUSE
IT'S JUST MORE CONVENIENT TO HAVE AROUND THEIR HOUSE AND DO THEIR VIDEO CALLS ON YES ABSOLUTELY
THERE WERE ALSO SOME REALLY UNIQUE FEATURES THAT YOU COULD DO ON THE PORTAL LIKE CALL A FRIEND AND
WATCH A YOUTUBE VIDEO AT THE SAME TIME PAUSE IT AT THE SAME TIME IT WAS KIND OF INTERESTING AND OF
COURSE THAT'S GOING TO BE COMPATIBLE WITH FACEBOOK MESSENGER WHATSAPP THINGS LIKE THAT THINGS THAT
ARE UNDER THE META UMBRELLA AND THEN THERE ARE THE GLASSES NOW I BOUGHT THESE GLASSES LAST YEAR
I MADE A WHOLE OTHER VIDEO ABOUT THAT YOU CAN GO CHECK OUT A YEAR LATER I WOULD SAY I USE THE
GLASSES SOMETIMES BUT NOT THAT OFTEN I THINK IF YOU'RE GONNA BE MAKING VIDEOS OR YOU'RE A CONTENT
CREATOR THIS IS PRETTY COOL TO HAVE BUT IF YOU'RE NOT GONNA BE MAKING VIDEOS AND POSTING VIDEOS THEN
I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND PEOPLE NECESSARILY BUY THESE GLASSES ALTHOUGH ONE THING THAT IS COOL BEYOND
THE CAMERA IS THAT THEY'RE ALSO HEADPHONES SO YOU CAN PLAY MUSIC AND WHATEVER YOU'RE LISTENING TO ON
YOUR PHONE YOU COULD HEAR IN YOUR GLASSES SO IT'S KIND OF COOL BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT ACTUALLY WEARING
ANY EARPHONES ANOTHER THING THAT IS SORT OF COOL ABOUT THE GLASSES IS IF YOU'RE EVER LIKE DOING
SOMETHING LIKE JET SKIING AND YOU'RE NOT SURE IF YOU WANT TO TAKE YOUR PHONE WELL JUST TAKE YOUR
GLASSES AND YOU CAN FILM THE EXPERIENCE WITHOUT HAVING TO RISK TAKING YOUR PHONE OKAY I ADMIT
THAT IS A VERY VERY WEIRD AND SPECIFIC PROBLEM TO HAVE BUT AT THIS POINT I THINK WITH TECHNOLOGY A
LOT OF TIMES WE'RE LOOKING FOR REALLY SPECIFIC AND NICHE PROBLEMS THAT WE HAVE BUT I'M REALLY CURIOUS
YOUR THOUGHTS WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THESE THREE PRODUCTS AND WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT META OPENING
ITS FIRST EVER STORE DO YOU THINK WE'RE GONNA START TO SEE THESE AROUND THE WORLD LET ME KNOW
IN THE COMMENTS WHILE YOU'RE AT IT CHECK OUT MORE OF MY TECH VIDEOS AND I'LL SEE YOU SOON
