To mark the expansion of Metas bland virtual reality platform, Horizon Worlds, into France and Spain, Mark Zuckerberg recently shared a selfie. The graphic, featuring the boyish CEO in front of a low-res model of the Eiffel tower, quickly struck a nerve, sparking sneers, jeers and sighs from quippy social media users. And honestly, can you blame them?<\/p>\n
If the image offended you and personally, Id find that reasonable given Metas influence over our virtual past and present then perhaps you can find solace in this: Mark Zuckerberg hears you. He sees you. And no, he more or less says, the metaverse wont look that wack. At least, not forever.<\/p>\n

Major updates to Horizon and avatar graphics coming soon. Ill share more at Connect, the CEO said on Instagram on Friday, referring to Metas upcoming developer conference. Also, I know the photo I posted earlier this week was pretty basic it was taken very quickly to celebrate a launch, the executive added, showing signs of humanity. The misstep echoed something wholly relatable: the act of posting a late-night selfie, only to regret it in the morning.<\/p>\n
The Meta boss response included another avatar and an ancient-looking cafe, with fine details that evoke a bit more Pixar and a little less e-card. Zuckerberg went on to reassure his followers that Metas graphics and avatars are capable of much more even on headsets and Horizon is improving very quickly. <\/p>\n
Indeed, for all of our sakes, I sure hope hes right.<\/p>\n
