Niko Pajkovic — July 26, 2022 — Marketing
Meta, formerly Facebook, has announced the launch of an all-new video series called 'Are We There Yet?' which will star 'Nope' actress Keke Palmer. The series is dedicated to explaining the metaverse and its "boundless possibilities."
The first episode of Are We There Yet was released on Tuesday and featured Palmer driving along Meta's virtual highways with Meta's Vice President of metaverse, Vishal Sha. Together the two discuss various elements of the metaverse; Palmer asks questions that the average non-expert might be pondering, such as "Can I reconstruct the Titanic?"
“I think the simplest way of thinking about it is, the metaverse is the next phase of the internet. And the main difference between the internet we use today and the next phase is that we can feel like we are there with other people in a way we can’t feel in our digital experiences today," explains Shah in the first episode.
