Meta and its CEO Mark Zuckerberg can\u2019t catch a break \u2014 everyone just keeps saying that they don’t want to live in the metaverse. This week, it\u2019s Amazon\u2019s head of devices David Limp, who said that he doesn\u2019t want to live in a virtual world 24\/7, or even a few hours a day.<\/p>\n

Limp expressed similar views when interviewed last month by the Financial Times<\/em><\/a>, where he spent most of his time espousing his vision of ambient computing<\/a> \u2014 the idea that the computer is everywhere \u2014 as he\u2019s been keen to do over the last year and change. <\/p>\n

While speaking at The Wall Street Journal<\/em>\u2019s Future of Everything Festival, Limp was asked what he was thinking about the metaverse<\/a>. He said that while he does believe that there\u2019ll be \u201csome form of place-shifting\u201d in the future, he\u2019s focused on devices that \u201cenhance the here and now.\u201d He said that even with current tech like phones and wireless earbuds, it can be hard to communicate with his kids, even when they\u2019re in the same house. \u201cI want to try to work on technologies that bring people\u2019s heads up, get them to enjoy the real world about them, make the family a more communal experience.\u201d<\/p>\n
