Meta has been working on their corporate space in the metaverse called Horizon Worlds.
Background: Meta has been working on their corporate space in the metaverse called Horizon Worlds. It's where Meta employees can get together and collaborate in virtual workspaces.
What happened: We don't really know how Horizon Worlds works. But we now know there's a personal boundary tool, which will make users feel like they've got 1.2 metres between their virtual avatar and others'.
What else: The idea is that the personal boundary tool will help set behavioural norms in the virtual world...kinda like virtual moderation.
💡Big tech companies have been under pressure to moderate their content in the physical world (ya know, Spotify and Joe Rogan...Facebook and publishers on the site).
💡As the metaverse starts to take shape, this is the first time we're seeing moderation in the virtual world.
💡Users on VR platforms have been raising alarm bells around abusive behaviour in the metaverse for a while now. But it looks like Meta is (finally) a step ahead of it.
