Horizon Workrooms is a virtual reality (VR) collaboration platform developed by Meta (formerly Facebook). It allows users to meet and collaborate with colleagues, clients, or partners in virtual meeting spaces using VR headsets. Horizon Workrooms offers features such as virtual environments, avatars, hand-tracking, spatial audio, whiteboards, screensharing, and more. Users can interact with each other, share presentations, brainstorm ideas, and collaborate on projects as if they were in the same physical space, regardless of their actual location. It's designed to enhance remote collaboration and productivity by leveraging the capabilities of VR technology. Similar to MeetinVR.
