This reminds me of the game Oasis seen in Ready Player one, but with all the awkwardness that comes with the kind of social interactions that fb has brought us, minus the game centric experience. I would really really want to be excited about this, as from a tech point of view it deserves a lot of credit, but unfortunately lately whatever comes from FB makes me think "thanks, but no thanks". Plus, for some reason when the video started and the female blonde avatar came up on the screen moving slightly up and down very rapidly, I had a sudden increase in heart rate and I felt anxiety all the sudden. That's something really unexpected which I had rarely experienced, so it really put me off.

The fact that Facebook is behind it reminds me of Nolan Sorrento's desire to increase advertising space in the Oasis [1].
