The virtual world of Facebook (Meta) has already arrived in Spain. This has been announced by Mark Zuckerberg on his personal Facebook profile, indicating that Horizon Worlds is now available in Spain and France. But how exactly do you use this facebook metaverse? What do you need to be virtual?
What is Horizon Worlds?
Horizon Worlds is basically the facebook metaverse. It is a virtual world that you can visit with your own avatar and that, with the help of some goal quest 2, you can live in first person. In this world you will be able to meet people from all over the world, and also enjoy programmed events such as concerts, movies and massive parties. And all without leaving (physically) home.
The application has a size of 480,80 megabytes, and you must download it from the Oculus Quest application store. And yes, to be able to enter this world you need Meta Quest virtual reality glasses to access the service. And be very careful because it must be one of the new Meta Quest 2, since the Oculus Quest originals are not compatible with the app. You can install it, but once inside, a message will make it very clear that you need Meta Quest 2.
Download Horizon Worlds
To download the new application you will not have to go around too much. Just enter the app store Oculus Store and look for Horizon Worlds if it doesn't show up first in your featured app banners. Don't confuse it with Horizon Venue, which was an earlier, older app that took the first steps before coming up with the metaverse idea itself.
What can I do once I enter?
This universe will give you all kinds of freedoms, and as long as you respect all the users you come across, you can camp wherever you want. With the idea that you don't get bored, the service is made up of many worlds created by other users, each one with themes and environments inspired by all kinds of ideas.
So, for example, you can visit a world inspired by comics heroes, and another where they focus exclusively on love for animals. The limit is in the imagination of the users, since you can create your world yourself and share it with the community. To do this, in the creation section you can make use of very complete (and also complex) tools to create an animated virtual environment in which invited users can interact with your creations.
Games, Events and Talks
The worlds will mainly look for three aspects: the fun of the games, the entertaining of events and the social of talks. On the one hand, you will be able to find very fun worlds with tests and games that make the most of the capabilities of virtual reality. We will also have worlds where we will enjoy concerts, which are previously announced in the Events tab. So you can enjoy concerts or movies with many more people by your side.
And finally, the talks or meet-ups, worlds in which people enter to meet other users, to be able to chat live with the help of the microphone and exchange knowledge and experiences from the virtual world.
In this way, the eternal wait for the arrival of the Facebook metaverse is put to an end, since after three long years, the service has finally made the leap to Spain so that all virtual reality enthusiasts can continue experimenting from their homes. with a technology that has more and more followers.
