Facebook is trying to pull in workplace users with a new virtual-reality app called Horizon Workrooms.
Workrooms lets people meet remotely in a virtual space populated by avatars. It’s an app for Facebook’s headset, which costs at least $300 and weighs a pound. People without a headset can join with a video call.
