<\/figure>\n Earlier this week was supposed to be a celebratory time for the folks at Meta, as its reality-devouring project Horizon Worlds <\/em>was now available in more countries. The occasion was marked by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg himself posting a \u201cselfie\u201d of his in-game avatar in front of a digital Eiffel tower. Sounds cute, right? Problem was, the graphics were comparable to what you\u2019d expect from a children\u2019s game like Roblox<\/em>, not from a multi-billion dollar company\u2019s efforts to shape our collective virtual future. The internet immediately roasted Mark Zuckerberg\u2019s selfie to hell and back<\/span>. And now, Zuck\u00a0is here to do some damage control. <\/p>\n Posting over on Instagram, for those of you who scrolled through enough recommended posts to see it, is an entirely new virtual rendition of Zuckerberg. This one, I\u2019m happy to report, does appear to contain more life essence than the last one, though it\u2019s unclear how many souls had to be sacrificed in order to give Mark a small glint in his eye. For those keeping count, this is the fourth or fifth VR version of Zucc we\u2019ve gotten so far. However, the shitty one we just saw came after <\/em>he showed us a really nice one a few years back. Which is to say, don\u2019t assume what you\u2019re seeing above will be permanent. He suggests as much in the post accompanying the new \u201cselfie\u201d when he says that the VR service is always evolving. <\/p>\n Major updates to Horizon and avatar graphics coming soon. I\u2019ll share more at Connect. Also, I know the photo I posted earlier this week was pretty basic \u2014 it was taken very quickly to celebrate a launch. The graphics in Horizon are capable of much more \u2014 even on headsets \u2014 and Horizon is improving very quickly.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
