What is Horizon Worlds?
Horizon Worlds is a social network for virtual reality. It is sandbox creation tool for social interaction where users can engage with the virtual environment. Meta has promised that it is going to be a unique and expansive multiplayer VR game.
In Horizon, you can create your own digital avatars and hop between virtual locales through portals called Telepods. Telepods are magic-like portals that transport you to different lobbies to play games and view entertainment.
