On May 9, Meta will double down on its metaverse sales pitch [arstechnica.com] by... making people drive to California to sample its wares at a single physical location.

The uncreatively named Meta Store [fb.com] will showcase every physical product the company sells under its various branded umbrellas, particularly the Meta Quest 2 VR system (formerly Oculus Quest 2 [arstechnica.com]). The company's first retail store will be housed in a 1,550-square-foot space on Meta's Burlingame, California, campus, which houses a number of Meta's VR- and AR-specific development efforts, and it will allow the public to test and purchase any of Meta's physical products.
