JAKARTA - As all developers compete to enter the world of the metaverse, Apple CEO Tim Cook actually thinks in the opposite direction.

In an interview conducted by Cook with the issuance of the Netherlands, Bright, Cook admitted that he was not sure everyone knew the definition of the metaverse itself.

"I always think that it's important for people to understand what something is, and I'm not so sure the average person can win over what the metaverse is," he quoted Dailymail as saying.

This statement came after news circulated that Apple plans to launch its own VR (Virtual Reality) device.

However, Cook stated that he is very skeptical about how someone will spend a long time just in the virtual world in the future.

"VR is something that can really make you sink. And it can be used in a good way. But I don't think you want to live your whole life like that."

According to him, VR technology can be used properly only for a certain time, but not a good way to communicate further.

Unlike Cook, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is actually very serious in his metaverse development. Instead, he changed the name of his entire company to help build a virtual world and has offered a number of different AR headsets that can be purchased.

According to the company's internal plans leaked to The Information, Meta plans to release its four new VR headsets in the next two years, one of which has an estimated price of around 799 US dollars or Rp12 million.
