The buzzword “metaverse” is all the rage right now, and Meta’s new Horizon Worlds app gives Oculus Quest users a taste of what’s to come.
How to build a mansion in the metaverse using Horizon Worlds
The metaverse concept is a shared virtual platform that people can use to move through digital environments. Right now, you can think of Horizon Worlds as a casual multiplayer game with the potential to be much more. The software requires a Facebook account and lets you hang out with up to 20 people in a virtual space at once.
You can move between different "worlds" in the software by clicking on your controller. Once you are in the virtual space of your choice, you can chat with other users and play rudimentary games or interact with other users in a gathering space.
When you first boot up Horizon Worlds, the software presents you with a number of options for customizing your avatar, though they all look a bit cartoonish.
