Meta has just gone public that it is canceling its F8 conference this year in 2022. Facebook’s parent company seems to be very busy building its metaverse project, its vision for the evolution of social connections.
Meta asserts that the metaverse to be an evolution of the current concept we have of the Internet, offering a complete virtual network connected to countless three-dimensional experiences in which to interact.
The vision of its CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, is that “the metaverse will be a virtual environment that fills the space between apps, games, and web pages, allowing for a much smoother browsing experience than the current one.”
The last time the f8 conference was canceled in 2013. Since then, despite the difficult pandemic years we have endured, the company has hosted a virtual event in 2020 and 2021 that users could tune into in line.
As we expected, the company released a brief official statement where it omits any explanation about the causes of the cancellation, but without a doubt, the silence it maintains is not at all positive, since it causes all kinds of reactions among users.
After the announcement made public at the end of last year on its vision of the metaverse, we all wonder how its deployment will take place. The developer community also has many doubts about the composition of the new platform.
