NEW YORK, Nov. 17, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Just as the world is getting a glimpse of post-pandemic life, the world\u2019s largest social network is going all-in on the metaverse, an immersive virtual and augmented world that has the potential to exacerbate feelings of isolation and loneliness. So the team behind Venn<\/u><\/a>, the world\u2019s only platform and experience company focused exclusively on neighborhoods, wanted to know: do people want to keep living in virtual realities or are they looking for something else? Something real? To find out, Venn surveyed more than 500 people in Detroit, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Miami, and New York City. Today, Venn is publishing those survey findings; the complete study is available to download on the Venn website here<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n
