You have to admit, although traveling is fun, the ride in the sky is not always so desirable. For example, traveling from Asia to Europe usually takes around 12 hours in the air.

We have been trying to increase flying speed for years now.

On April 11, Meta announced its plans to allow creators to sell their own virtual assets on its virtual reality game platform Horizon Worlds.
