Meta is now encouraging its employees to spend time in Horizon Worlds.
Talk of creating a metaverse has been going on for a long time and tech giants are ploughing billions into it. However, no one seems to be going as hard as Facebook and their Horizon Worlds concept.
The idea is to create a kind of new internet where we can walk around in a virtual world and do things together. The idea, as previously stated, is not new in any way. One of the more successful concepts is Second Life, which still has failed to get a major user base, and the big problem with the metaverse idea is the question « why? ».
Neither we nor the companies have a good answer to this and when Mark Zuckerberg himself tried to impress us with a Facebook post showcasing Horizon Worlds in August, it was actually hard to keep us from laughing, as it mostly looked like an old Wii game (that’s us being nice!).
