On 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.
- aplummer 7y agoThis is actually a clone of a really popular app that’s already out, so seems to be what people want!
- nikkwong 7y agoThat app being?
- aplummer 7y agoSorry I should have said, it’s called Rec Room
- buraequete 7y agoDo 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.
- Kiro 7y agoProbably means Rec Room or Altspaces. With that said, VRChat is certainly not just bare bones chat. There are rooms for everything with all kind of games. Think Roblox.

- WilliamEdward 7y agoJust 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.

- Kiro 7y agoYour theory about what people want has already been debunked by the popularity of existing social spaces in VR which have the same type of avatars.
