Facebook opens virtual world app to public

Facebook’s parent firm opened its Horizon Worlds virtual reality platform on Thursday to people in general in North America, in a step toward building its metaverse vision for what’s to come.

Skyline Worlds is a long way from a fully realized metaverse, a future web where online encounters like visiting to a companion would ultimately feel eye to eye on account of computer virtual reality (VR) headsets.

Yet, headset-wearing clients in the United States and Canada would now be able to accumulate with companions or others, play games and build their own virtual worlds on Horizon as long as they are 18 years of age and have the proper equipment.

Since last year a testing version of the platform has been available to a set number of clients.

Facebook renamed its parent organization to Meta in October to emphasize its aims to move from scandal prone social media platform to its virtual reality vision for its future.

“We need Horizon Worlds to be a safe and respectful environment, so everybody should follow our Conduct in VR Policy,” Meta said in declaring the opening.

“You have a few safety options which allows you to have some time off and then block, mute or report people,” it added.
