The Clap
Meta is opening the Meta Store, a showroom to showcase & sell its virtual reality (VR) headset as well as the idea of the metaverse.
The deets
The store will open on May 9, 2022, at the company’s California campus. People will be able to try Meta’s Oculus VR headset, which is currently compatible with a few apps & games, along with other products such as their smart Ray-Ban Stories glasses.
Why this matters
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said, “The best way to understand virtual reality is to experience it.” However, tech giants like Microsoft & Amazon have infamously opened physical stores & then decided to shut them down to focus on online sales.
