Horizons looks like the first steps towards the OASIS, but the bad guy's version where everyone is sad.
At Oculus Connect 6 in September Facebook and its subsidiary Oculus announced a new social hub for the Oculus platform called Horizon.
Many wonderful things were said about making it a central hub for the world to experience VR in a social, inclusive way. In the launch video, they showed us visions of a future where we all get up and excitedly don our headsets to talk to friends all over the world over coffee and pancakes.
Unfortunately, it all means doodly squat because Facebook has chosen to act like Oculus instead of like Facebook.
