Zuckerberg’s metaverse vision from an Amazon hardware executive

Everyone continues stating they don’t want to live in the metaverse, which Meta and its CEO Mark Zuckerberg can’t seem to shake. Amazon’s chief of devices, David Limp, said last week that he doesn’t want to live in a virtual world 24 hours a day, or even a few hours a day.

Limp echoed similar sentiments in an interview with the Financial Times last month, in which he spent much of his time promoting his vision of ambient computing — the concept that computers are everywhere — as he has done for the past year and a half.

Limp was asked what he thought about the metaverse when appearing at The Wall Street Journal’s Future of Everything Festival. While he believes that “some form of place-shifting” will occur in the future, he is more interested in technology that “enhance the here and now.”

Even with modern technology like phones and wireless headphones, he claimed it may be difficult to connect with his children, even while they are in the same house. ” “I want to try to work on technologies that bring people’s heads up, get them to enjoy the real world about them, make the family a more communal experience.”

He also said that defining the phrase “metaverse” was very impossible: “if I asked these few hundred people what they thought the metaverse was, we’d get 205 different answers. We don’t have a common definition, it means a lot of different things to a lot of different people.”

We don’t have a standard definition since it means various things to different individuals.” Mark Zuckerberg has tried to explain what he means by “metaverse,” but he’s quite heavy on vision and short on specific facts at this moment — though he does claim that augmented reality glasses will play a key part.
