Horizon Worlds reinvents itself: create virtual worlds with AI and from your PC
Meta wants creating your own virtual world to be as easy as typing a sentence. Soon, you won’t need a VR headset or any technical skills—just your computer and a little imagination.
From text to a playable world in minutes
Imagine typing: “a wooden cabin by a lake, with canoes floating and trees all around”. That’s all it takes for Horizon Worlds’ new tool to automatically generate the environment. Thanks to AI integration, it can create 3D models, textures, lighting, and environmental details from simple natural language descriptions.
It’s the next step after years of Meta’s advancements in AI-generated content, already applied across other parts of its ecosystem.
Creation for everyone, no headset or experience needed
Nick Clegg, one of Meta’s executives, explained that this innovation aims to democratize VR content creation. The goal: anyone, from their PC and with zero coding skills, can design virtual spaces for games, events, or exploration.
This tool will be integrated into the new Horizon Worlds desktop editor, allowing you to create from any computer—no need for a Meta Quest headset.
When is this feature coming?
Meta has confirmed that the tool is coming “very soon”, though no exact date has been announced. Most likely, we’ll see a phased rollout in the coming weeks or months, starting with Horizon Worlds’ most active users. Get ready for a new universe in Horizon Worlds.
In summary:
Meta wants creating virtual worlds to be as easy as typing a sentence on your computer. Horizon Worlds is getting ready to go mainstream with AI-powered tools that promise to revolutionize how we design in the metaverse.
It’s truly an amazing opportunity for both Meta and users, and we can’t wait to see the new worlds the community comes up with!
