About the new Meta accounts for VR, the company said

  1. In August 2022, we’ll begin rolling out a new Meta account structure that gives people more flexibility and control in VR. You’ll no longer be required to log into your Meta VR devices with a Facebook account.
  1. We’re also evolving your Oculus profile to a new Meta Horizon profile, which you can customize as you see fit.
  1. Your “Friends” will now become “Followers,” similar to Instagram’s existing model.
  1. You’ll have the option to add your Facebook and/or Instagram account to the same Accounts Center as your Meta account, which unlocks connected experiences in VR.
  1. We’re rolling out new controls to help you more easily manage your privacy settings.”

According to Engadget, “There is a social aspect to the new account type though, at least for VR headsets. When you create a Meta account, you’ll need to create a Meta Horizon profile with the username, avatar, profile photo and so on that you’ll use in the company’s vision of the metaverse.”

There are so many other things the world will come across once it’s in the market and in everyone’s hand.
