☆ Meta is rebooting Horizon Worlds as the VR platform struggles to grow
  + stars: | 2023-07-28 | by ( Jonathan Vanian | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
Meta is overhauling its Horizon Worlds virtual reality app to include more video games as the social platform struggles to find a big audience. Horizon Worlds is the company's free virtual reality social network where people can create avatars and interact with other players. The studio's first VR game, a shooter called Super Rumble, debuted on Friday and reportedly contains better graphics and fidelity than other VR games built on top of Horizon Worlds. The video game will also be one of the first VR video games that Meta plans to test when it eventually debuts a mobile version of Horizon Worlds, Shah said. "This is definitely more than just a new world," Shah said, referring to it as "the next generation of Horizon Worlds."

☆ Meta's VP of Metaverse says 'the metaverse hype is dead,' but that's OK

Meta's VP of Metaverse said the hype cycle for the metaverse is dead, but that's okay. The metaverse team can "put their heads down and build" the experiences, Vishal Shah told Fortune. "I think the metaverse hype is dead. People access Meta's metaverse apps through the company's Quest lineup of headsets, but Apple recently announced the $3,499 Vision Pro headset. Interestingly enough, Apple is avoiding the term metaverse in favor of "spatial computing."

☆ Meta VP tells staff to make the metaverse 'so obviously successful' that his dad stops calling every week to ask about it
  + stars: | 2023-03-03 | by ( Aaron Mok | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
A Meta VP told staff to "buckle down" and "build great products" for the metaverse, per The Verge. Only one in 10 users reportedly come back to its Horizon metaverse platform after a month. The VP reportedly said he wants the metaverse and VR to be "so obviously successful that my dad stops calling me every week to ask" about it. "And please, let's make the metaverse and VR so obviously successful that my dad stops calling me every week to ask me about it," he reportedly added. But only time will tell if Meta's products will keep users active in the metaverse.
☆ How many more warning signs does Mark Zuckerberg need to see before he pulls the plug on his metaverse?
  + stars: | 2022-10-18 | by ( Travis Clark | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
Meta's metaverse experiment isn't off to a promising start, with plenty of recent warning signs. But so far, the overall experience of being in Meta's metaverse is lacking — for both the public and even those within the company. So, Meta's metaverse experiment is not exactly off to a promising start. "Why don't we love the product we've built so much that we use it all the time," the company's Metaverse VP Vishal Shah wrote in the memo, according to The Verge. Some other good questions: How many more warning signs does Zuckerberg need to see?
☆ Mark Zuckerberg showed his full avatar, which now has legs, in real-time for the first time after Meta was slammed for poor graphics
  + stars: | 2022-10-11 | by ( Grace Kay | Britney Nguyen | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg debuted the new metaverse avatars at the company's Connect conference. The company also announced a new $1,499 Quest Pro virtual reality headset, and new partnerships. The metaverse avatars didn't have legs before because it was harder in virtual reality to accurately position where body parts like legs are, the Facebook founder said. "But seriously, legs are hard, which is why other virtual reality systems don't have them either," Zuckerberg said. Zuckerberg shared an updated metaverse avatar image Friday after being widely mocked for a previous version.
☆ Mark Zuckerberg urged Meta staff to have virtual meetings when many of them didn't have VR headsets, report says
  + stars: | 2022-10-10 | by ( Kate Duffy | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
When Mark Zuckerberg urged Meta to have virtual meetings, many staff didn't own VR headsets, per NYT. Meta staff rushed to buy headsets and set them up before managers realized, a source told the NYT. Zuckerberg told staff this year to conduct meetings on Meta's Horizon Workrooms app, per NYT. The source, who remained anonymous, told The Times that many Meta employees didn't have VR headsets this year or hadn't gotten around to setting them up. Quest 2 was first known as the Oculus Quest 2 when it launched in 2020, but Meta changed its name the following year to Meta Quest 2.
