Horizon Worlds is coming out of virtual reality.

Heres to the 2 people who actually care
Yes, the two people. Mark Zuckerberg and... Zark Muckerberg.
Sounds about right
"Finally", yeah right.
And the crowd goes... mild.
This is still a thing?
Yeees... Says no one.
I wonder, I know Facebook is still very popular in South America, is this same public interested in "Meta Horizon World"?
I watched this a while ago and it was pretty eye opening for me. https://youtube.com/watch?v=KW64FiB0ITg
It seems like many of the “users” in this virtual world are kids. This makes sense to me as they are just “playing with dad’s VR thing while he’s at work” or something like that, they ain’t switching accounts or anything. There are a few adults in there, but yeah… watch the video; it’s rough.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.
I wonder if this is because vrchat announced they were doing the same thing a couple months ago
it didn't even make it to VR.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The 3D social platform has previously been exclusive to its VR headsets, but Meta announced on Thursday that Horizon Worlds is starting to roll out on mobile and the web in early access.
The company promises that “as we roll out more worlds over the next few months, you’ll be able to hang out with friends, laugh it up at comedy shows, and enjoy free concerts and events from any web-connected device.”
This all means that, at least to start on mobile and the web, you’ll only be able to play Super Rumble, Meta spokesperson Bryan Pope confirmed to The Verge.
“It was a little bit too much of a VR game on mobile as opposed to a mobile-native experience,” Shah said in an interview with Lowpass.
I’m guessing Meta will talk more about Horizon Worlds and its metaverse efforts at its Connect conference on September 27th and 28th.
Update September 14th, 1:50PM ET: Added new details from a Meta spokesperson and included some of the history of the web and mobile versions of Horizon Worlds.
