The entrance to Horizon World, also known as Horizon Worlds, allows friends to start their own journey through the virtual world. At the same time, it can also lead friends to make more friends and play games together.
The company plans to roll out more worlds over the next few months, allowing users to socialize with friends, attend comedy shows, attend free concerts and more, all accessible from any internet-connected device.
Horizon Worlds is similar to Rec Room. Users can log into Horizon Worlds through Meta's Quest series of headsets and create their own avatar.
Here users can perform most activities in the real world, using virtual images to socialize with users around the world, visit friends, attend concerts, and travel around the world.
Facebook announced in July that it would form a team to develop the Metaverse, and in October announced that it would invest approximately US$10 billion in the next year to develop the technology needed to build the Metaverse. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg wrote in October, “Our expectation is that in the next 10 years, the Metaverse will have 1 billion users, support business activities worth hundreds of billions of dollars, and create millions of creative and development positions.”
Horizon Worlds, the "Metaverse" platform owned by Meta Company, has recently begun inviting Android users to experience it in advance after launching a closed beta test on the mobile terminal in late August this year and has launched it.
