Around the same time, Zuckerberg announced that Facebook was changing its name to Meta to reflect the company’s commitment to “the metaverse.” The term metaverse incorporates VR, augmented reality and other forms of “mixed reality” where gaming, social experiences and even work escape from the limited 2-dimensional world of PCs and phones to a 3D world where you can interact with others.Most of my time in VR has been spent in Meta Horizon Worlds, where anyone can create their own virtual world.
In other words, despite the rules, kids were getting into Horizon Worlds with or without their parents’ permission. But because the service was designed for adults, there were no safeguards or experiences designed specifically for younger users.Children under 13 are still officially not allowed to use Horizon Worlds, but the service is now open for teenage users.
