On Oct 28, Facebook announced a rebranding and spoke about its ambitions for becoming a Metaverse company. What does it mean? What do they want to do? Do we all need to buy Oculus devices now? Tony and Chuck explore this topic and take a look at what the company is already doing. The first of a 2-part look at the Metaverse.
