Horizon Workrooms: Facebook’s VR Officespace

Oculus Quest 2 users have a new space to explore: Horizon Workrooms, Facebook’s vision for how we will do business in the metaverse. If you’re worried that creating an avatar and doing business as a cartoon character isn’t on-brand for you or your company, think again.

No, wait. Actually… your first reaction is probably spot on. I really like this technology and the promise it holds, and I’m excited to play with it. That said, the idea of avatar-based chat is almost as old as personal computers.
