Meta's "Horizon Worlds" breaks free from HMD

VR experiences are often inherently limited in their reach due to the need for specific hardware like Meta Quest. Meta is looking to break that barrier by expanding Horizon Worlds to mobile and web. It’s kinda like the reverse of what Apple is trying to do with VisionOS.

From the Meta blog post:

We’re excited to announce that Meta Horizon Worlds is beginning to expand beyond VR. We’ve started rolling out our first Meta Horizon world to mobile and web in early access, with more experiences to come. To start, a small number of people can now access Super Rumble through the Meta Quest app on Android, with iOS rolling out in the coming weeks. Early access is also available on web browsers at horizon.meta.com.

As we roll out more worlds over the next few months, you’ll be able to hang out with friends, laugh it up at comedy shows, and enjoy free concerts and events from any web-connected device.
