<p>Meta (formerly Facebook) has opened its first retail store at its campus in Burlingame. In the Meta Store, you’ll be able to get hands-on experience with all Meta hardware products.</p>
<p>Through interactive demos, you can make video calls to retail associates with <a href="https://store.facebook.com/portal/">Meta Portal</a>, learn how <a href="https://store.facebook.com/glasses/">Ray-Ban Stories</a> can help you stay present with the world around you, and explore the magic of VR with a first-of-its-kind immersive <a href="https://store.facebook.com/quest">Meta Quest 2</a> demo.</p>
<p>The company is also making it easier to shop Meta Portal, Ray-Ban Stories and Meta Quest all in one place online, in a new Shop tab on <a href="https://meta.com/">meta.com</a>.</p>
<p>“Once people experience the technology, they can gain a better appreciation for it. If we did our job right, people should leave and tell their friends, ‘You’ve got to go check out the Meta Store.’” &#8212; Martin Gilliard, Head of Meta Store</p>
<p>The Meta Store also features an interactive Meta Quest 2 display wall, allowing you to explore the hardware, its accessories, and the breadth of content available today. Last but not least is the immersive demo area, where you can try <a href="https://www.oculus.com/experiences/quest/2448060205267927"><i>Beat Saber</i></a>, <a href="https://www.oculus.com/experiences/quest/2412327085529357"><i>GOLF+</i></a>, <a href="https://www.oculus.com/experiences/quest/2582932495064035"><i>Real VR Fishing</i></a> or <a href="https://www.oculus.com/experiences/quest/1830168170427369"><i>Supernatural</i></a> on a large, wall-to-wall curved LED screen that displays what you’re seeing in-headset. You’ll also get a 30-second mixed reality clip of your demo experience that’s yours to share.</p>
<p>At just 1,550 square feet, the Meta Store has a relatively small footprint for an engaging experience. The company wanted to launch the first Meta Store near Reality Labs HQ, where it&#8217;s working on to build the metaverse.</p>
<p>The store will be open Monday through Friday from 11:00AM to 6:00PM PT. It’s located at 322 Airport Blvd in Burlingame, CA. You’ll be able to purchase Meta Quest 2, Meta Quest 2 accessories and Meta Portal devices.</p>
