Our Metaverse Story
At first I was skeptical of the Metaverse. That's until I had a transformative experience after using an Oculus 2 headset for a commercial we were filming for a radio broadcasting conference. After that moment, I couldn't shake the thought of how this technology could be used to connect with people. I've been working in the digital field professionally since 2007 and I've never experienced connection across digital media like this. So our team developed Killer Bee Studios, a virtual space on the Meta's Horizon Worlds app.
We have now been hosting live shows since 2022 for people around the world to connect and share their life stories and experiences, and you can listen to those stories on our podcast, "New Horizons."
We're Just Getting Started 🚀
We've been pioneers on the Horizon Worlds platform and are just getting started. As we launch Season Four of "New Horizons" we're excited to explore new ways to raise awareness about the possibilities of broadcasting and connecting with people in the Metaverse.
ℹ️ On June 26, 2024, Meta announced people can join us LIVE using their mobile phone or desktop computer. Their vision is to make the metaverse accessible to everyone. VR headsets will no longer be required, but to get the full immersive experience we do recommend it. This approach is expected to drive further growth in Horizon Worlds' user base and engagement over the coming months and years.
