The Facebook company plans to employ ten thousand specialists in the European Union within five years to create the "metaverse", according to about.fb.com.

“We look forward to working with governments across the EU to find the right people and the right markets to take this forward, as part of an upcoming recruitment drive across the region,” Facebook VPs Nick Clegg and Javier Olivan wrote in a corporate blog.

Facebook donated $ 50 million to create the metaverse in September.

At the heart of the “metaverse” is the idea that by creating a greater sense of “virtual presence”, interacting online can become much closer to the experience of interacting in person. It is a virtual environment in which people can work together, communicate, play and have fun, just like in real life.

As the UOJ previously reported, Zuckerberg announced plans to create a "metaverse".
