Founder of Oculus, founder of VR: Zuckerberg's meta-universe is like a money-burning "project car"

Beijing, Oct. 25 (Beijing time)-Palmer Luckey, the founder of Oculus, the founder of VR, doesn't like what Mark Zuckerberg has developed for meta-universe so far, although he does think it may eventually succeed.

In 2014, Lucky sold his Oculus to Facebook for $2 billion. The deal is part of Zuckerberg's $15 billion investment in meta-universe. In an interview on Monday, Lucky talked about Horizon World, Facebook's core meta-cosmic app. "it's not good and it's not interesting," Lucky said. "most people on the team will agree that this is not a good product."

But he believes that the money Zuckerberg has invested in the project alone means that the Horizon World is likely to change for the better and the meta-universe is likely to succeed. "Today is bad, but the future could be amazing," he said. "Zuckerberg will put money into it. In the long run, they are the most likely to win."

At the same time, he added, it takes time and is accompanied by mistakes. He likens metacosmos to a "project car", a luxury car that car owners spend a lot of money to buy as a hobby. "if you work hard, maybe no one will see its value," he says. "will they make mistakes? yes, for sure. Will they waste money? will they add something to their project car and then delete it? yes."
