This October 11, during the Meta Connect conference, Facebook stated that Horizon Worlds will be available on the web and on Instagram, without providing a specific date.
During the Meta Connect conference, Facebook’s parent company provided some clues about the future of its metaverse, Horizon Worlds. The Facebook metaverse is currently only accessible via a virtual reality headset. This was also the whole theme of this Tuesday’s conference: the presentation of the Meta Quest Pro.
But soon we may be entering Horizon Worlds without going through this helmet. Meta has announced that it will be possible to access it via the Web from a computer or smartphone. Without giving details or a specific date on this topic.
The other ad is for Instagram. Soon, the contents of the metaverse will be able to be shared in the form of Reels (short videos). Meta account on Instagram to push users to Horizon Worlds. Being Instagram one of the most popular applications of the group, it is therefore used to carry out a project that does not convince even the engineers in charge of developing it.
A potential arrival of Horizon Worlds on the web had already made a noise last April, as noted The border. In a now deleted April 14 tweet, Andrew “Boz” Bosworth, CTO of Horizon Worlds, has already announced a metaverse version of Meta on the web. Vivek Sherma, Vice President of Horizon World also revealed work to bring the platform to phones and game consoles.
