MArk Zuckerberg is struggling to relive his 2004 genius. If Facebook revolutionized an entire generation by becoming the first online social network, the same cannot be said for Horizon Worlds, the virtual world that Meta’s boss created in Metaverse for $13 billion. Due to its “childish” graphics, the social network, which had already mocked at the time of its introduction the avatar of the American billionaire, including American giants, could not seduce as explained. Newspaper Echoes.

“Feedback from creators, users, testers, and many of our team members points to the weight of frustrating little things, stability issues, and bugs that make it impossible to enjoy the magic of Horizon Worlds,” writes Vishal.

Organize moments with your colleagues and friends…”, Vishal Shah commanded -, Facebook’s parent company will consider creating a two-dimensional version of its Metaverse, less immersive, but more Realistic, with one watchword: quality. A surprising alternative when you know that Metaverse’s specialty is the evolution of three-dimensional worlds, and that Horizon Worlds VR is designed to be explored with an Oculus virtual reality headset.
