Dive into the Metaverse: Horizon Worlds Now Easier Than Ever to Join
Meta is now expanding its social VR project Horizon Worlds significantly. From this week, the platform will be available to users in all Meta Quest markets with supported languages. This means that more people across the globe will be in a position to interact with virtual environments.
Building the Metaverse: From Pre-Built Worlds to User Creations
Horizon Worlds is one of the cornerstones of Meta’s metaverse strategy, a shared virtual environment where people can interact. In Horizon Worlds, people can visit ready-made spaces, attend meetings, and even build their own VR experiences. Even at its current stage, the platform has significant potential for user-generated content and social interactions in a digital environment that can be tailored to the users’ preferences.
Expanding Accessibility: Moving Beyond the VR Headsets
This recent announcement is not just a move to expand into new regions. However, Meta is also expanding Worlds on mobile and web browsers, as well. This is important because it opens up Horizon Worlds to those who do not own VR headsets and can be seen as a stepping stone to Meta’s future metaverse endeavors. With the advancement in VR technology, Horizon Worlds has the potential to be the main place of interaction for many users, thus, increasing engagement.
Pop Culture Integration and a Glimpse of the Future
To further promote Horizon Worlds, Meta has introduced a new VR experience with singer Sabrina Carpenter. Think of the possibilities of a virtual concert by a celebrity like Taylor Swift! Such events could greatly increase the sales of VR headsets and also help in popularizing the idea of the metaverse.
Meta’s concept of the metaverse is being realized through platforms like Horizon Worlds. These custom experiences give a sneak peek into how people will engage in the future within virtual environments.
The Elements of the Future VR
Not everyone can picture it at the moment, but the potential of constructing VR environments using AI commands and interfaces such as Horizon Worlds is vast. It is a long way to go, but Meta is already working on the next level of social interactions.
Availability: Meta has admitted that it will take ‘a few months’ to make this feature available to everyone. So, while you may not be able to get it right now, it is definitely something that will be available in the near future!
