Its funny to me that they are able to produce cool R&D stuff like this, but they chose to go all in on the metaverse.

One is driven by their engineering talent, who are consulted on what is worth pursuing, the other is what their slightly spectral founder thinks is worth pursuing. They are not the same

Initial impression: it seems to be pretty good at identifying objects but when you look at the cutouts without the glowing outline you'll quickly realize the edge is rather rough and thinner parts sometimes get omitted completely.

The metaverse application of image segmentation was shown in the GIF in the article.

Are you confusing the metaverse with AR/VR in general?

There would be no need for image segmentation in the metaverse, a completely generated construct. The information gained from image segmentation could be derived much more easily and embedded directly in the objects you're interacting with.

That’s a very narrow interpretation of metaverse that meta doesn’t share. There can absolutely be AR in the metaverses. Check out some of marketing materials for visions of what that would look like
