1 day agoMeta is building a smart TV - in VR
Big hero images highlighting select TV shows and movies, a row of app icons, a bunch of additional content recommendations: At first glance, Meta's new Horizon TV app looks a lot like the homescreen of your typical smart TV. Something Samsung, Google, or Amazon would ship on their devices. Except Horizon TV isn't running on a TV or streaming stick, but on the company's Meta Quest headsets. Unveiled at Meta Connect last month, the app is a big part of Meta's push to attract older, less gaming-focused audiences to VR - a push that also includes a partnership with James Cameron, and investments into sports, and other types of leanback entertainment content.
