    The most charitable interpretation possible is that it's like VR Chat but with apps, so you (as your avatar) can work, shop, and play and it will all be one seamless experience.

    ...but honestly I don't think Facebook even knows what it is, because what they've shown is a bunch of separate bits that don't seem to fit together, and every single one is a solution looking for a problem. Nobody it going to get their whole office to set up VR headsets for meetings when Zoom exists, nobody is going to use a headset to do online shopping, nobody is going to strap in to a VR office in order to work on spreadsheets. It's already a hard enough sell to get people on VR devices when the experience on offer is completely unique, and everything in the metaverse looks completely banal.
