facebook元宇宙(每日外刊 Facebook發布虛擬現實社交元宇宙——“地平線世界”)
背景知識
元宇宙是最近特別火爆的一個概念,無數人都在談論著它,也有無數企業、行業紛紛入局其中。在眾多布局元宇宙的企業中,Facebook(后更名為Meta)可能是進展最快的。當地時間12月9日,Facebook宣布,旗下的VR世界“Horizon Worlds”正式向美國和加拿大的18歲以上人群開放。在這個VR世界中,Oculus虛擬現實頭戴設備使得用戶可以創建一個沒有雙腿的虛擬形象,在虛擬世界中四處流蕩。同時,用戶可以在這個世界中與其他用戶化身的虛擬形象進行互動,甚至一起游戲。盡管從目前看,Horizon Worlds這個虛擬世界還不夠完善,遠遠沒有達到Facebook此前宣傳的那樣豐富,看起來更像是通過VR設備進入的一個開放式網絡游戲。但是,這對于Facebook來說是一件里程碑式的成就,Facebook從十月改名Meta以來,僅僅兩個月的時間,Meta就正式推出了實現其元宇宙設想的初步應用,進展可謂是極快了。

Facebook-Meta Unveils Horizon Worlds, A Metaverse For Socializing In VR
Meta發布虛擬現實游樂場“地平線世界”,正式開啟元宇宙
Facebook-Meta has introduced Horizon Worlds to the Meta Quest (formerly known as the Oculus Quest), a place that it says allows you to bring your wildest dreams to life. If you meet all the requirements, you can begin to let your creative juices flow within the metaverse today. Meta, aka Facebook, has been going full steam ahead with its vision of bringing everyone into the metaverse since its rebranding.
Facebook-Meta將Horizon Worlds引入了Meta Quest(前身為Oculus Quest)中,并表示在這里你可以將最瘋狂的夢想變成現實。如果你滿足了所有的要求,你就可以從今天開始讓你的創意源源不斷地涌入虛擬世界。Meta,也就是Facebook,自更名以來一直在全力以赴地實現讓每個人都進入虛擬世界的愿景。
It has developed touch sensitive robot skin that is aimed at giving robots a more delicate touch. It also pulled the plug on its Facial Recognition System to limit its use of facial recognition on its products. There is no doubt that Meta is trying to escape the storm that followed the internal document release scandal a couple months ago. As the company continues moving forward with its vision of the metaverse, it has officially launched Horizon Worlds, an immersive VR program for use with its Meta Quest VR headset.
該公司已經開發出觸敏機器人皮膚,旨在讓機器人擁有更細膩的觸覺。該公司還關停了人臉識別系統,以限制其產品使用人臉識別。毫無疑問,Meta正試圖擺脫幾個月前內部文件泄露丑聞之后的風暴。隨著該公司繼續推進其對元宇宙的愿景,它正式推出了Horizon Worlds,這是一款與Meta Quest VR頭盔配合使用的沉浸式虛擬現實程序。
Horizon Worlds was previously an invite-only beta that began last year. During that time, those fortunate enough to have been invited created everything from action-packed games to tranquil locations for meditation. Meta has now moved the VR experience out of beta and made it available to anyone that is at least 18 years old, lives in the U.S. or Canada, and owns a Meta Quest VR headset. Meta's vision for Horizon Worlds is to bring to life a VR space that is friendly to creators of all skill levels using best-in-class social world-building tools.
Horizon Worlds之前是自去年開始的只接受邀請的公測版。在此期間,那些有幸受邀的人創造了從動感精彩紛呈的游戲到寧靜的冥想場所等各種內容。Meta現在已經結束VR體驗公測,并面向所有年滿18歲、居住在美國或加拿大并擁有Meta Quest VR頭盔的用戶開放。Meta對Horizon Worlds的愿景是,使用一流的社交世界構建工具,為所有技能水平的創造者帶來一個友好的VR空間。
