Meta Platforms Inc. is hoping to revive interest in the metaverse by pitching it as a tool to help train workforces, showing the social media giant isn’t backing down on its virtual reality ambitions even as artificial intelligence takes center stage.
Nick Clegg, president of global affairs, touted the “transformative” role augmented and virtual reality can play in job training and education, speaking at the company’s “Future of Work Summit” in Washington on Tuesday. The event was hosted by companies like Interplay Learning, Talespin and Embodied Labs.
