Mark Zuckerburg, the founder of Facebook recently revealed his newest innovation, the Horizon Workrooms. Horizon Workrooms is a virtual reality application for users of Facebook’s Oculus Quest 2 headset, which will let you and your colleagues meet virtually from home. We feel like we’ve been doing that already. Oh, that’s right we have.
Workrooms will allow up to 16 VR headset users to meet in a virtual conference room, with each of them represented by a customizable cartoon-like avatar. The app supports up to 50 participants in a single meeting, with the rest able to join as video callers who appear in a grid-like flat screen inside the virtual meeting room. How very matrix-like.
Users wearing headsets can use their fingers and hands to gesture in the VR environment, and the weirdest part? Your avatar will move its mouth in a lifelike manner every time you speak.
Facebook aims to further the use of VR which has been a niche category up till now. The most common use for VR right now is in video games. The movie “Ready Player One” popularized the idea that in the future VR will be an key aspect of gaming.
But isn’t this a fancier version of Zoom?
