- What Happened: Version 67 of the Meta Quest Public Test Channel had the functionality, which was discovered by a data miner by the name of Luna. According to The Verge, if it were put into practice, users would be able to rearrange up to three 2D program windows inside their workspace while maintaining three more docked.
- Another update revealed that the windows would only remember where they are positioned for a short while and will revert to their original places if the user changes orientation or resets the view. BMFVR is a 243,000-subscriber YouTube channel.
- The update also adds a dimmer to reduce the brightness of virtual surroundings while using 2D applications, and the option to choose between curved and flat windows. However, passthrough mode is not yet supported by this function.
- Why This Is Important: When utilized in mixed reality mode, this improvement moves the Quest 3, in particular, one step closer to Apple’s spatial computing. The study did point out that it does not seem to function quite like the Vision Pro.
- With the Apple Vision Pro, users may arrange windows in any area and have them stay there even when they walk or take off the headset.
- Zuckerberg deemed Meta’s Quest 3 to be superior to Vision Pro when he made the comparison earlier this year. He said at the time, “I finally tried Apple Vision Pro,” and went on to say, “I think Quest is the better product, period, not the better value.”
- Then came rumors of Zuckerberg visiting South Korea to talk with LG Electronics Inc. about a possible collaboration on a new XR headset.
