The new demo looked pretty insane. After watching it I was like ah fuck thats gonna be the future
The new demo for what? I have no idea what you are talking about. I'd like to think I know a bit about metaverses as a VR enthusiast.
I would presume they're referring to the videos of Quest 3's passthrough capabilities

This video I saw
my favorite part of that video is when he says (paraphrasing):
this is like a video call, and that's cool.. but we can do so much more.. like, we can ... have meetings
such vision :)
I laughed when lex was like wow it doesn't even feel awkward that I'm right in face and zuc said nah it does
Yeah that is real impressive, I thought we would be years away from the realistic meta avatars becoming usable on actual hardware. I don't really understand what's so metaversey about this though, Apple showed off the same concept with no ties to the idea of metaverses.
EDIT: I watched a bit more and hearing Mark's ideas of the metaverse he wants honestly sounds very similar to the plans and sdk's for the Apple Vision Pro. I don't know if this is truly what the future will be, but it seems exciting.
