Facebook Launches Virtual-Reality Remote Work App; a Step to the ‘Metaverse’🌌

by Shams Abbas

The Clap
On Thursday, Facebook launched a test of a virtual-reality remote work app, “Horizon Workrooms”, where people can hold meetings as avatar versions of themselves. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg dubs this step the first on the way to Facebook becoming a ‘metaverse’ app.

What on earth is a metaverse, you ask?
A metaverse is a virtual universe where people would use digital avatars and VR to interact. Instead of something you look at on a screen, the metaverse is an internet you can be inside of.

The Deets
In its first full VR news briefing, the company showed how Workrooms users can design avatar versions of themselves to meet in virtual reality conference rooms and collaborate on shared whiteboards or documents, while still interacting with their own physical desk and computer keyboard.

Why this Matters
The term ‘metaverse’ has been referenced in several recent earnings calls by tech CEOs including Zuckerberg, gaming company Roblox David Baszucki, and Microsoft’s Satya Nadella, who have talked about how their companies could shape aspects of this futuristic realm.
