The company changed its name on Oct. 28, 2021, reflecting growing ambitions to transcend beyond social media and into Web3 and the Metaverse.

It’s been just over a year since social media giant

Nevertheless, the technology giant is continuing to push forward with its foray into Web3 and other projects including artificial intelligence, with Zuckerberg noting on the call that “we’re on the right track with these investments” and the company “should keep investing heavily in these areas.”

The company recently unveiled its latest virtual reality headset, the Meta Quest Pro during an Oct. 11 virtual event; along with the partnership with Microsoft, and a new computer platform from Reality Labs.

“Work in the metaverse is a big theme for Quest Pro. There are 200 million people who get new PCs every year, mostly for work.”

“Our goal for the Quest Pro line over the next several years is to enable more and more of these people to get their work done in virtual and mixed reality, eventually even better than they could on PCs,” said Zuckerberg.

“Between the AI discovery engine, our ads and business messaging platforms, and our future vision for the metaverse, those are three of the areas that we’re very focused on,” he added.
