However, it is not a significant step into retail. Unlike Apple and other technology businesses, which operate stores in high-traffic places such as retail malls, the Meta Store will debut on May 9 at the company's Burlingame, California, campus. The store will contain demo rooms where customers can test out its Oculus virtual reality headsets and the apps and games that run on them, among other things.
The business is investing $10 billion over the next year in the creation of the metaverse, a virtual world that CEO Mark Zuckerberg believes will become the norm for working, socializing, and gaming. That aim is still years away for the corporation.
The Quest 2 headset, attachments, and Portal video chat devices will be available for purchase at the store. Ray-Ban Stories smart glasses will be available for trial but will only be available for purchase online. Meta has also announced the addition of a "shop" tab to its website.
