![]() ![]() Most users have yet to see Horizon, and Facebook confirmed this week that the program is still in closed beta testing.įacebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and other internet industry executives have been talking about plans for a “metaverse” with increasing intensity in recent weeks. Instead, it revealed Horizon, a virtual social realm that would be delivered in 2020. However, in October of this year, the business shut down both VR apps. In 20, the firm released the virtual-hangout apps Oculus Rooms and Facebook Spaces, which allowed small groups of users to assemble in virtual reality. This isn’t the first time that Facebook and its subsidiary Oculus have attempted to popularize social interaction through virtual reality. While speaking to a (virtual) room of roughly a dozen people on Tuesday, Andrew Bosworth, VP of Facebook Reality Labs, said, “The pandemic in the last 18 months has just given us greater confidence in the relevance of this as a technology.” According to him, Facebook has been using the software internally for nearly a year. People can use a virtual whiteboard to share photos and create presentations. Participants in virtual reality meetings can use their own fingers and hands to gesticulate, and their avatars’ mouths appear to move in realistic ways while they speak. ![]()
