Meta rolling out Voice Mode in Horizon Worlds

San Francisco, June 14 : Meta has announced a new setting known as Voice Mode in Horizon Worlds that will give people more control over their experience.The feature, to begin rolling out in the next few weeks, will allow the Quest 2 VR headset users to choose how they hear people who arent on the friends list, including the option to not hear unwanted conversations at all.

"By default, youll hear all nearby users at the same volume, but with Voice Mode, you can easily switch to Garbled Voices, in which non-friends voices come across as unintelligible, friendly sounds," said the company in an update.If you enable Garbled Voices, strangers will see an indicator that you cant hear them so they dont feel like youre ignoring them.

"But if you do want to hear what theyre saying, you can simply raise one hand with the controller to your ear to temporarily un-garble them without having to add them as a friend," explained the company.Horizon Worlds will also begin rolling in the UK this week on Quest 2 for people 18 years of age or older.

"We plan to keep rolling out Horizon Worlds to more countries in Europe later this summer," Meta said.If you enable Garbled Voices, strangers will see an indicator that you cant hear them so they dont feel like youre ignoring them.
