Our first demo of Facebook Horizon was a year ago at Oculus Connect, and it seemed bright and Disney-like and a mystery in terms of how privacy and safety would be enforced. Facebook Horizon is a colorful, creative, seemingly wide-open world, and a competitor to Microsoft's Altspace VR, VRChat, and Rec Room. In fact, VR has immersive theater and escape room experiences, but Facebook's building its own funhouse. It's weird, fun stuff, the sort of thing maybe you did in escape rooms in person once. CNET colleague Joan Solsman and I are in this world, but haven't seen each other in person for months. We're standing in an escape room space, where one of us is trying to guide a block into a target and communicate to the other person, standing behind a wall at a control panel. Facebook is building its own cartoon-avatar metaverse for VR, called Horizon.
