On Thursday, Facebook said that it is rebranding itself as Meta in order to reflect the company’s focus to build metaverse which is a virtual world where people work, learn, play and connect to their family and friends.
During the company’s annual AR and VR conference, Facebook founder and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said, “In our DNA, we are a company that builds technology to connect people and the metaverse is the next frontier, just like social networking was when we got started.”
He also said that “meta” comes from the Greek word meaning “beyond” and that “it symbolizes that there is always more to build.”
