Zuckerberg: All videos will be 3D worlds

Meta undertook the most significant cuts to its metaverse efforts to date earlier this month, laying off a reported 1500 employees and closing multiple VR game studios. Still, CEO Mark Zuckerberg isn’t done with immersive media just yet.

On the company’s Q4 2025 earnings call Wednesday afternoon, Zuckerberg laid out a somewhat murky vision for a future in which AI and spatial computing turn all kinds of media into immersive 3D worlds, including all of the videos on your Instagram feed.

After briefly recapping the evolution of social media from text to images to video, Zuckerberg said: “I don't think that video is the ultimate kind of final format. We're going to get more formats that are more interactive and immersive. [...] There's definitely a version of the future where you can tap on and jump into any video that you see, engage, and experience it in a more meaningful way.”
