Meta is exploring new technologies that will allow artists to sell virtual products and effects within Horizon Worlds, Meta's social virtual reality app. The new functionality is presently being rolled out to a small number of creators in the United States and Canada, where Horizon Worlds is currently accessible. Creators who sell their wares will see a Commerce menu and gadget in the app's Create mode. In addition, Meta is piloting a creator bonus scheme in the United States, in which creators are compensated for creating worlds that attract the greatest time spent. Creators will get compensated at the end of the month for employing new features and tools introduced by the firm.
Meta announced the testing of new monetisation tools for Horizon Worlds authors in a blog post on Monday. The most recent version enables a restricted group of producers to develop digital objects and effects that may be sold directly within the virtual social area. These might be clothing or purchased entry to a new section of the planet. These items can be purchased by users over the age of 18 in the United States and Canada. Creators may make goods to sell by using the Commerce tab and gadget within the app's Create mode.
In addition, Meta is testing a Horizon Worlds Creator Bonus program to encourage creators to use its tools and features to flesh out their worlds. These bonuses are not subject to fees, and creators will be compensated at the end of the month for their progress toward the company's objective. Meta's bonus program is presently only offered to participants in the United States.
The company's Horizon Worlds regulations, such as the Conduct in VR Policy and the Horizon Worlds Prohibited Content Policy, apply to the newest incentive program as well.
The parent corporation of Facebook, which changed its name to Meta last year, is making significant contributions to the establishment of the metaverse. Previously, the business offered Instagram Badges for users aged 18 and above in some locations, allowing artists to earn money from their followers. Users may utilize badges to demonstrate their support for artists during a Live video on the site.
