#398 – Mark Zuckerberg: First Interview in the Metaverse

So that's super powerful.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#398 – Mark Zuckerberg: First Interview in the Metaverse

So I think that it's actually an amazing thought experiment of like,

how many physical things we have today that could actually be better as interactive holograms.

#398 – Mark Zuckerberg: First Interview in the Metaverse

But then beyond that, I think the, the, the most important thing obviously is people.

So the ability to, you know, have these mixed hangouts, whether they're social or meetings where you show up to a conference room, you're wearing glasses, um, or a headset in the very near term, but, you know, hopefully by, you know, over the next five years, glasses or so.

#398 – Mark Zuckerberg: First Interview in the Metaverse

And, um,

Lex Fridman Podcast
#398 – Mark Zuckerberg: First Interview in the Metaverse

And you're there physically, some people are there physically, but other people are just there as holograms, and it feels like it's them who are right there.

#398 – Mark Zuckerberg: First Interview in the Metaverse

And also, by the way, another thing that I think is going to be fascinating about being able to blend together the digital and physical worlds in this way is we're also going to be able to embody...

AIs as well.

#398 – Mark Zuckerberg: First Interview in the Metaverse

So I think you'll also have meetings in the future where you're basically, maybe you're sitting there physically, and then you have a couple of other people who are there as holograms.

And then you have Bob, the AI, who's an engineer on your team who's helping with things.

And he can now be embodied as a realistic avatar as well and just join the meeting in that way.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#398 – Mark Zuckerberg: First Interview in the Metaverse

So I think that that

That's going to be pretty compelling as well.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#398 – Mark Zuckerberg: First Interview in the Metaverse

So then, okay, so what can you do with photorealistic avatars compared to kind of the more expressive ones that we have today?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#398 – Mark Zuckerberg: First Interview in the Metaverse

Well, I think a lot of this actually comes down to acceptance of the technology.

#398 – Mark Zuckerberg: First Interview in the Metaverse

And

Lex Fridman Podcast
#398 – Mark Zuckerberg: First Interview in the Metaverse

Because all of the stuff that we're doing, I mean, the motion of your eyebrows, the motion of your eyes, the cheeks and all of that, there's actually no reason why you couldn't do that on an expressive avatar, too.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#398 – Mark Zuckerberg: First Interview in the Metaverse

I mean, it wouldn't look exactly like you, but you could make a cartoon version of yourself and still have it be almost as expressive.

But I do think that there's this bridge between...
