The company formerly known as Facebook is taking a step toward its goal to transport us to the metaverse. Now, Horizon Worlds -- the Second Life or Minecraft of Meta's VR apps -- is expanding out of invite-only beta, opening up to all users over 18 years old in the U.S. and Canada. This is a huge milestone for the app, which was first announced in 2019.The free app is a social world-building playground. When you enter the app (after a short tutorial if it's your first time), you're presented with three options: play (games), attend (events) and hang out. You can explore experiences that Meta itself created, plus community-generated spaces, which anyone can build. In October, the company announced $10 million in funding for creators building these VR experiences, incentivizing users to make new games and hangouts.a game in Horizon WorldsImage Credits: MetaBefore you enter any of these virtual spaces, the platform reminds you that anyone you interact with is a real person.  » Read More

Author of the article: A U.S. appeals court on Wednesday paused the enforcement of an injunction against Apple Inc that could have forced it to allow links and buttons to payment methods outside its App Store. The U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals granted Apple’s request to pause the order, which was set to take effect on Dec. 9. The order, handed down in September after a lengthy antitrust trial earlier this year brought by “Fortnite” creator Epic Games, would have required Apple to allow developers to link to an outside payment system, skipping Apple’s in-app payments system that charges commissions. The appeals court decision means Apple will not have to make the changes while it pursues a potentially years-long appeal of the Epic Games decision, which was largely favorable to the iPhone maker aside from the order to allow buttons to outside payment methods.

Late in October, Twitter announced that Spaces hosts can now record Spaces they create and share them with their audience so users who missed out on live conversations can catch up later. Around that time, this ability was only available to “some hosts” on iOS. The company has now provided an update that users with an Android device can also record their Spaces. The feature is still limited to select hosts but it’s nice to see Twitter gradually expanding its availability.Additionally, when Twitter first rolled out this feature, users on iOS or Android mobile apps could only listen to a recorded Space. The company is now also expanding that support to the web version of Twitter. So anyone can now listen to recordings of Spaces regardless of what platform they use Twitter on.Note that you cannot yet start a Space on the web. And since only hosts can record a live Space, you must use Twitter on iOS or Android mobile apps to be able to record your Space.  » Read More
