Facebook is building a virtual reality sandbox experience where users can build their own VR environments and games or explore other user’s landscapes with friends.
Facebook’s VR platform will be launched in a closed beta in early 2020, and it is meant to include a highly social component reminiscent of Second Life. The beta release will allow users to design their own avatars and hop between virtual worlds using portals. Human guides will be present on the platform to prevent trolling and abuse.
