JAKARTA - Facebook boss suddenly appeared on the Clubhouse application. Zuckerberg uses the account name Zuck23. He participated in The Good Time Show to discuss technology and culture.

The event was moderated by a former Facebook and Twitter employee named Sriram Krishnan who had a duet with Aarthy Ramamurthy. Previously, this new application was popularized by Elon Musk in a tweet on his Twitter account.

In fact, the two of them will host the event with guest star Andrew Boshworth as the head of the Facebook Augmented and Virtual Reality project team. However, suddenly Mark Zuckerberg appeared with the account name Zuck23.

The Facebook CEO only appeared briefly at the event. Zuck talked about VR and AR technology specially created by Facebook's Reality Labs team. He claims that the two technologies can help remote work.

Zuckerberg said that during the pandemic it was revealed that half of Facebook employees are predicted to continue working from home or WFH according to government instructions. This work system will continue for the next 5 or 10 years.

Zuckerberg also added that the existence of Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) technology will make people appear more real than using video conferencing applications such as Zoom.

"We have to teleport, not just 'transport' ourselves," said Zuckerberg. Before the Facebook boss, there were already Tesla and SpaceX bosses who were also present and having dialogues about technology on this new platform.

The Clubhouse app is a new platform that focuses more on audio. This application was developed by Alpha Exploration. For information, Clubhouse was launched in March 2020.

By using this application, users can stream audio, create podcasts and make phone calls.

Quoting Business Insider, this application does not allow viewers or listeners to document the things the host is talking about. Even just taking a screenshot of the chat that is being discussed, because it could be that the recording of the conversation could be controversial.

On the other hand, by using the Clubhouse application, users can also choose to listen to audio streams from influencers or from well-known artists. It seems that this application is designed for audio purposes only, so there is no video display in it.
