Facebook Charity Initiative Provides Homeless People VR Rigs to Wander Streets of Metaverse

MENLO PARK, Calif. — Meta introduced a brand new initiative to offer again to the California neighborhood by offering native unhoused residents their very own Meta-branded VR headset as a strategy to combine them into Zuckerberg’s Metaverse challenge.

“With how necessary and rapidly-advancing technology has become, so many members of the world are deemed archaic and left out of the modern trends,” Zuckerberg mentioned. “With Meta’s new charity push, we sought to give unhoused people access to the most realistic, life-like world to explore completely free of charge. Conversely, this helps Meta expand the reality of its digital world, with online users now being hassled for digital currency by actual, real homeless people. Truly amazing.”

Henry Proper, a neighborhood homeless man chosen for Meta’s program, expressed his gratitude to the company for giving him an opportunity at civilized society. 

“I was forced out of my home after losing my job, I thought I had lost everything,” Proper mentioned. “But after Mr. Zuckerberg gave me these goggles, I got to start all over again. Yes, things like businesses and private property are locked out to my avatar because of my unhoused profile, but it’s nice to be able to move up and down various street corners without having to leave my spot in the real world or get tired.”

Facebook Philanthropy coordinator Moira Evans mentioned the initiative is already seeing optimistic outcomes. 

“This promotion has been a smashing success so far,” mentioned Evans. “Already users are reporting experiencing real, palpable fear walking downtown in the Metaverse at night, and our brilliant programmers have been able to code in every disease or deformity that the homeless users have into the digital realm.”

At press time, Facebook was reported that after the charity occasion had concluded, all members can be fortunate sufficient to obtain an itemized invoice for his or her VR headset.
