Earlier this week, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg took the stage tospent billions of dollars Create a virtual reality universe (horizon world) looked like 2004his company was working on improving that universe to make it look more like it was in 2009 instead. leg.
It was a very strange video in a very strange space. As Ethan wrote at the time:
Today’s model is clearly an extension of that early render, finally taking the VR platform beyond the likes of Fire Emblem: Awakening on the Nintendo 3DS.

If there’s one thing that can push the Oculus storefront green, it’s the burgeoning market for VR foot photography. Knowing it may seem silly here but the live chat with the virtual audience watching all this unfold absolutely blew up when Zuckerberg started talking about legs Put it down please.
An update expected to bring full-body avatars isn’t expected until 2023, but Zuckerberg was clearly seen jumping around in the video, giving everyone a quick look at the tech. Was it?
Anyone who has *culture-checked* some of the marketing ever created knows that when a company is trying to sell you something, not everything is By now you should know. In this case, the video Meta showed off was made with some help.

But there is something particularly interesting about this. A project that spent billions of dollars to make it look like the Kinect demo (a piece of hardware that was first shown to the public in 2009) ended up being a dumbass in itself. foot-related moment.
Perhaps this technology will look exactly like this when it is finally released! Maybe it doesn’t.maybe none of us will actually use horizon world And it will forever remain a mystery.
