I think this could do very well. I wonder how you communicate with each other? Does the quest has built in A/V com?
I laughed at the legless avatars. So many memes in the making.

#22On the Internet, you can be anything you want. Facebook thinks most people will want to be a generic floating body with a cartoon human head. They missed the point - self expression is what people want.
This is actually a clone of a really popular app that’s already out, so seems to be what people want!

#23This makes me wonder what is going on with my Miis on the Nintendo Wii. It has only been about five years since I have seen them.
Re: Facebook Horizon
#24The fact that FB can task developers to this, but not the breached servers (of a 3rd Party but who has access to highly confidential material) I’ve reported via their BB page that are online right this second is somewhat insulting to me.
If this comment gets downvoted, be suspicious. It is going to be well written, but it is does contain accusations against Facebook. My real name is in my About Section so I have no fear of libel. I hate to play this card because I am sort of immunizing myself (or trying to) against downvotes, but you can look through my comments and it’s not something I’ve ever done before.
1. The 3rd Party who led to the breach at Doordash is also a Facebook contractor. A significant amount of Facebook data has been stolen because of this.
2. Dashlane, Deliveroo (UK), Netflix, Uber, AirBnB, Quora, EventBrite, BetterDoctor, and about 10 other firms that I know of are also clients of this contractor as their data was also leaking or obtainable through extremely simple exploits.
3. Yes I did file a Bug Bounty with evidence. FB has acted...sort of...but the evidence is still online, at this moment.
4. I have already begun conversations with ISC2 asking for a significant amount of CISSP cert holders at FB to have their certifications revoked for breach of ethics violations via the “good of society” clause and negligent blindness. I absolutely made sure to have a carve out saying they probably were just ignored by management, and in such case for the names I cited to ignore my claim (and I would write a written public apology if asked).
5. I get that everyone here is tired of FB negativity here. Me too. Just a little longer if you don’t mind.

Just look at VR Chat, the ability to have custom avatars is why a lot of people liked it. This is facebook shoving its awkward style onto the user.
Re: Facebook Horizon
#26Are the avatars legless just because the headsets don't do leg tracking?

Re: Facebook Horizon
#28Facebook Horizon was announced at Oculus Connect Day 1 keynote yesterday. I highly recommend people checkout Michael Abrash's keynote discussing some jaw dropping "social teleportation" research: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCB_mfGmh9w&t=1h47m12s
Very cool, but inherently troubling that it's done on FB's money, with all the strings attached.

Do you mean "VRChat" maybe? I feel like Horizon will be more like an "Internet" where you can access other games/experiences. Not bare-bones, chat-only like VRChat, but that's just my guess.
