Will we soon be living predominantly in virtual reality? Facebook - sorry - Meta boss Mark Zuckerberg firmly believes in it. But then he did the math without Iceland. This video shows why.


Read the video transcript here

“Hi, and welcome to this very natural setting.

Today I want to talk to you about how we can connect to our world without being super strange. "

Does that remind you of anything?

A round neck sweater, smooth skin and a somewhat strained look?

Then you probably also know this video: Mark Zuckerberg introduces the new name of the company behind Facebook and Instagram: Meta.

A few weeks ago, the Internet giant made headlines with it.

"We created something that can give you a sense of what our future looks like."

Zuckerberg's somewhat eerie staging of a future vision in which everything is permeated by technology and people mainly meet in virtual reality - the metaverse - earned plenty of ridicule and malice on the internet.

A company that promotes Iceland and its tourism industry picked up the video and parodies Zuckerberg.

Iceland becomes: the Icelandic Verse, with very real realities.

»How do we call this not so new chapter of interpersonal connection?

The Iceland Verse - augmented reality, without silly-looking headsets. "

"In our freely accessible world everything is real."

"You can fully immerse yourself here - there is water that is wet."

“With people to connect with.

You're human, aren't you? "

“With moss that you can look at.

But please don't touch it, it's sensitive. "

In the end, everyone will have to decide for themselves whether real Iceland or virtual reality - the point for the funnier video definitely goes to the Icelanders.

"And now, enjoy our logo."
