Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg Says Most Physical Things We Have ‘Aren’t Going To Need To Be There in the Future’; It Will All Be Holograms

In a thought-provoking conversation during Theo Von's recent podcast, Meta Platforms (META) CEO Mark Zuckerberg provided a vivid glimpse into a future dominated by augmented reality (AR) technology. Highlighting the dramatic shift toward holographic interactions, Zuckerberg emphasized that many of the physical objects we currently rely on would soon become obsolete, replaced by immersive digital alternatives.

The podcast featured a striking example described by Von, who recounted an experience playing ping pong using Meta’s new AR glasses. Notably, the ping pong table, paddles, and even the net weren't physically present — they were holograms projected through the glasses. Von humorously noted, "It wasn't real, but it was like 3D ping pong. Someone could ride their bike through our game like it wasn’t there."
