Meta, the company formerly known as Facebook, blew minds in October with a demo of its virtual reality (VR) system that included avatars with legs. That this was deemed worth demoing is evidence that Mark Zuckerberg’s vision for our digital lives is truly the dullest possible version of the future.
In the demo, Zuckerberg’s avatar jumped up and down., which quoted the Meta founder as saying legs were the most requested feature for its VR system. “But seriously, legs are hard, which is why other VR systems don’t have them either,” he said.
