“This POV camera was a little creepy, because it didn’t notify others when it was turned on. When I revealed I was recording, people would sometimes shout, ‘she’s a fed!’ and run away.”

Seriously committing to her story, Hill spent more than 24 hours logged into Horizon Worlds, Meta’s VR social network, to get a sense of who the early adopters are, and how they feel about virtual reality.
