facebook eventually he will not produce his own smart watch The company, now called Meta, had been working on this project for several years. It was also talked about a lot because it would be one of the first smartwatches to come equipped with two cameras – perhaps with the option of detaching the case from the strap and using it as a kind of GoPro.
Meta doesn’t just sell services and don’t just deal with social networks. The giant has also been selling various hardware products for years, including the smart screen of the Portal line and the best-known VR viewers from Oculus. And then there are the glasses with smart functionality, such as those made in collaboration with Ray-Ban.
With its smartwatch, Facebook would have entered direct competition with Apple, which dominates the market ranking with its Apple Watch. portable According to Bloomberg, the project has been shelved and the teams working on it have moved to something else. It is not clear whether the company has definitively pulled the plug on the project or whether it is more correct to speak of a temporary interruption.
Bloomberg also adds another detail that has not yet been published: the smartwatch was part of Facebook’s strategy for the creation of its metaverse In the company’s ambitions, the device would also have served to control Horizon Worlds’ virtual avatars. Bloomberg also released the first photo of a prototype smartwatch, which you can find at the opening of this news.
Not a smartwatch like any other, but something much more ambitious and… more expensive. Too much to make the project sustainable at this stage. Tomorrow, who knows.
