2. Increased Player Capacity

   Real world events regularly host 10s of thousands of people in attendance. With some concerts achieving over 100,000 guests. Furthermore, a number of free events have achieved more than a million attendees.

   These numbers are difficult to fathom, but I believe we will have virtual spaces capable of handling this easily within the next 10 years.

   As a stepping stone, we have already seen in venues a technique sometimes called "Distant Player Optimizations," or "High Concurrency." In layman terms, this means distant avatars stop being animated and look more generic.

   A way to enable this functionality and increase the number of players in a world beyond the current 32 would be greatly appreciated. Especially for events where there is large audience attendance and engagement.

   I believe this should either be included by default on all worlds above a certain player count, or a toggle switch that increases the worlds capacity. Thank you for your consideration! :)

3. Keyboard Gizmo (User Text Entry)

   Laex, Waffle, Pigeon, UncleLemon, and many more have tirelessly worked to create keyboards allowing user text entry in their worlds. These keyboards are often complicated scripts that are hard to navigate when shared with other creators in our community.

   Please develop a Keyboard Gizmo to allow us to give users the ability to enter text. This could be either a gizmo that is always open, or a codeblock that allows us to spawn a keyboard in front of a user.

   Ideally, this is the same keyboard used in all of Horizon's menus. It could also include a submit button, which would send an event to the gizmo with the string entered. Or it could send each button press as an event to the gizmo.

   Thank you for your consideration, this enhancement will greatly benefit the community and allow for many new developments and use cases. :)

4. Bring Back Player Events with Hosting Rules

   While the previous rollout of player events were abused by many that weren't even in their event at the time, we'd like to bring back player events that require a creator, host or moderators in the event at the time of the event start. If at least one is not available in the event at the event start and through the duration of the event, the event should not show on the event tab. This will cut down on abuse and will allow people with true events to still be able to host them.

5. Bringing in Custom Content

   Custom content is incredibly important for all Horizon Worlds creators. When a brand has a logo to bring in, it has to be easier to import. For instance, Merc has redesigned several logos, bringing them to life in Horizon, unfortunately this requires a large number of objects . . . which can create lag.

   As a photographer and world traveler, I would love to create a studio to showcase some of my photography. But it goes far beyond this, Blue Wave should have had the ability to premier their Horizon Worlds movie in Horizon Worlds. Musicians should be allowed to create their own storefront with samples to promote their work. Video tutorials should be available in asset worlds to help users learn.

   I’d even argue that musicians should be able to bring full length songs into worlds, whether it be background music, or to pretend to play in sync with a live audience. Imagine a singer lip syncing with whisper voice settings, or a drummer with a model of their real life drums. We even built a keyboard for our live show, that is a model of our pianist’s real one.

   One concern I had originally was that we might see ugly worlds. Worlds where people abused these options for custom content. This fear dissipated when a friend of mine reminded me that, nobody wants to go to an ugly world. In other words, the popularity of worlds, will self regulate. Though I would recommend options for content reporting, and automatic flagging of copyrighted music.

   Custom Content to Consider:
   ● Logos ● Photos ● Music
   ● Text ● Videos ● Sound Effects

   Logos will allow for low impact, high resolution branding. Photos will enable artist creativity, showcasing, and even walls of our favorite VR selfies. Videos will enable everything from Horizon movie premieres, to greater VR learning. Music and sound effects can enable more customization, and even level up production quality for live shows, performances, movie recordings, or even making music videos. And text will enable us to bring our scripts into VR so we can easily read, rather than presently lifting up our headsets which can ruin audio quality and even cause video to stop recording.

6. Player Capacity Determines Number of Simultaneous World Editors

   We need more simultaneous world editors, 4 is way too limiting.

   In the past couple years the maximum number of players in a world has grown from 8, to 12, then 20, and now 32. That is a 4x increase! But the number of simultaneous creators in build mode has stayed at 4.

   This number needs to immediately double, and in the long run I suggest it be tied to the world player capacity limit. Perhaps in the early stages it can even be an experimental feature or something you have to enable in the world settings.

   As a teacher in Horizon, it is extremely disheartening to be limited to class sizes of 3. Especially when consider attrition across multi-part educational series.

   But beyond education, today we were testing our world, and had to publish to see all 6 people on stage at the same time. Would have been nice to invite a few extra testers before publishing.

10. Release Asset Monetization Tools via Application Approvals

    I request Horizon open monetization tools to a wider audience, or to those active in monetization programs. As a user that mans multiple monetization programs, Metaverse monetization is the one my audience wants to see and the one I cannot rightfully promote.

    I am not seeing its promotion elsewhere either. The press that followed the release was great, but then fell off and saw zero following press.

    People come seeking those particular tools and then cannot find them. As increasing the user base via consistently incoming new users is a priority, I would say providing the users with incentive to stay. Many users follow me into the metaverse from social media, believing they can directly earn. They cannot yet.

    The largest problem I can envision is age restrictions and abuse of the system. This could be circumvented with a simple Google form, as has been done in the past. If a feature is this well controlled, allowing Meta to retain the right to vet those they'd give access to.

    -

    I propose releasing the features for a number of positive benefits:

    • Offset the hefty community responsibilities put onto leadership via sustaining their voice through their own hard work.

    • Increase the user base.

    • Only accept age-appropriate or vetted users.

    • Allow users to grow and provide for themselves via their Metaverse ventures.

    • Create new leaders to continually lighten the load lifted by community leadership.

    • Further community trust and inclusion by finally opening access.

    • Increase overall time in headset and retention, by creating a reason for money-driven users to stay in headset.

    Finally, I know this would dramatically increase the time and hours I personally put toward Horizon. If I could focus on earning income inside of the platform, I won't have to spend as many hours stabilizing myself outside of it.

    This is my official request to release these features in an appropriate manner.

11. Ability to opt out of recording or streaming (via visual notification or settings)

    There are a number of people who livestream their HZW experience to youtube or twitch or elsewhere. It feels a bit uncomfortable to find out, after the fact, that someone you have been interacting with has been recording and/or broadcasting your entire conversation and everything you've been doing in HZW, even if it seemed you were mostly in private 1-1 or with friends.

    It might be illegal in some states with 'two party' consent rules (such as California, where Meta is headquartered) to record conversations without all parties being notified.

    Proper notification could be done by providing an icon or similar on the floating nametag above anyone who is either recording or casting their HZW session. Other people would then have the option of not interacting with anyone who was actively keeping a record of the world.

    A more draconian version of this feature would be to allow users to adjust settings such that their audio and avatar do not appear in recordings. This sort of functionality already exists in HZW, and is used for blocking other users. When someone starts recording, anyone with such settings would have their audio stop being sent to the recording user, and have their avatars replaced with 'blue people' in the recording users view.

14. Transparency without having to use text

    The ability to set the opacity for a limited number of objects in your world without having to resort to text tricks would be useful. we could have frameless windows using semitransparent stretched cubes, and we could have 3D shapes that have transparency.

    Having a "plastic" property on a shape that has transparency would give us "proper" looking windows, although if we can only have transparency on "unlit" objects, I'm sure we'd still be happy.

17. Text Entry UX is Horrible

    Any of the text entry fields in Horizon Worlds are simply usability horrors. The field to enter text is very small, and there is no easy way to scroll it. It should, at least:
    - be significantly wider
    - expand vertically when the user enters newlines (not <br>)
    - permit easy scrolling of the field both horizontally and vertically
    - have saner selection behavior (it's very unpredictable right now)
    - allow copy/paste between text fields in different gizmos
    - have a straight raycast at the keyboard rather than a droopcast that makes it nigh impossible to select a text position in the field if the keyboard is up.
    - support more symbol glyph entry directly on the keyboard
    - support voice dictation

18. Horizon World Tours In the Menu/Horizon Home Etc.

    Horizon World Tours has been the #1 source for new and returning visitors to find new places to explore, people to connect with for help building, scripting, and collaboration, as well as a fun themed world to hang out and host a world hop.

    It was featured in the Plaza during the beta. Countless visitors asked over the last year why this wasn't a permanent fixture there and in the wrist menu.

    I am requesting for Meta to officially support "Horizon World Tours" by offering the world in more places such as "Special Events" in the "Attend" section for the weekly events, and doors in places where people are looking for help and more places to visit. (Horizon Home, Plaza, Arcade, Hangout tile in the menu, etc.)

    Over the last 17 months countless visitors joined the Horizon World Tours event in search of connection with others, inspiration and assistance getting started in creation, and many have created worlds that have been featured in the Horizon World Tours world. We give lesser-known creators the opportunity to have their world seen by 100's-1,000's of visitors where normally they would rely on word of mouth.

    Thank you and I hope to see this world available to a larger audience someday so we may continue supporting the existing and future members of our community

20. Do not force new defaults on controller button mapping

    Do not force change button mapping. This is not a simple change scripts around, this breaks entire mechanics and experiences where sprint was needed as well as walk. Using more capacity that we already struggle with to obtain player speeds is not the answer ether.

    This need to be in the menu and prompted that button mapping is now available to set your controller up. Be advised that changing from the DEFAULT mapping may effect some world interactions and experiences.
