Zuckerberg speaks of teleporting at Clubhouse
No time right now?
Like Elon Musk before, Mark Zuckerberg asked Clubhouse questions about the future on the “Good Times” channel. He particularly focused on opportunities through mixed reality.
We should teleport, not transport, says Mark Zuckerberg. That would not only be good for the climate, it would also save a lot of time. People could live where they want and still be present wherever necessary.

Teleportation is not to be understood literally
However, Zuckerberg did not speak of a form of teleportation as we know it from Star Trek. Rather, the Facebook boss imagines a combination of virtual and augmented reality. We recently presented details on corresponding glasses from Apple.
Zuckerberg’s teleportation begins with putting on a headset. In this headset, a partly virtual, partly real environment is displayed in which people can interact with one another. The simplest example could be a meeting room in which the distributed team takes a seat at the conference table and the presentations are projected onto the virtual screen in the usual way – a kind of zoom on steroids.
According to Zuckerberg, Facebook is already working intensively on such a teleportation technology. Coordinating all systems so that a seamless environment is created that can withstand comparison with a real situation and then improve it is a long way, according to Zuck23, as Zuckerberg is called Clubhouse.
Facebook wants to use technology itself
Incidentally, Facebook wants to lead the way as a shining example and convert around 50 percent of its workforce to collaboration via this VR / AR technology by the end of the decade. However, Zuckerberg sees a lot still to come for the developers.
A particular challenge would also be to help the technology achieve social acceptance. This would require headsets that are so miniaturized that they look like thick glasses.
Anyone who would like to listen to Zuckerberg’s statements in the original can do so on YouTube. There the channel has First Principle a recording uploaded.
