I'm always surprised when someone makes a sweeping declaration such as "No one's using virtual reality in the workplace". I heard this very statement recently at an e-learning conference. Yep, an e-learning conference. Sure, VR is an emerging technology, but as 20 real-world examples of Virtual Reality can attest, early adopters are indeed putting it…

It's not quite the metaverse, but Meta is launching its virtual world

It's not quite the metaverse, but Meta is launching its virtual world | Augmented, Alternate and Virtual Realities in Education | Scoop.it
From edition.cnn.com - December 10, 2021 6:47 PM

Meta is bringing its vision of a so-called metaverse closer to (virtual) reality.

The company formerly known as Facebook said Thursday that Horizon Worlds, a free app for socializing in VR that has been long in the making, is now open to anyone 18 and older with a Quest 2 headset in the United States and Canada.


Horizon Worlds is not a fully fleshed-out metaverse. That hard-to-define concept refers to efforts to build a wide-ranging virtual realm that people can walk around within, via digital avatars, and interact with others who are also there virtually. But the launch is one of the biggest efforts the company has undertaken to popularize VR — and virtual socializing — since its purchase of Oculus in 2014.
