Alright, let’s dive into this. So, Meta, yeah, those folks who used to be all about Facebook, are up to something kinda intriguing with their Quest headsets. They’re doing one of those things that feels a bit like 2024 déjà vu because it’s something they teased back at Connect 2024. Remember that? Or maybe not. Anyway, now they’re rolling out an update, like version 77, that shakes up their user interface. It’s not like the old dock-based thing—now there’s this shiny new launcher overlay. Makes me wonder if anyone actually preferred the old way. Probably someone did.
Oh, here’s a quirky thing—they’re experimenting with tossing 3D Instagram photos into your feed there on Quest. Ever wanted to see your brunch pic with a bit more depth? Well, lucky you!
This whole Navigator thing—they’re calling it some kind of revolutionary centralized hub. Apps, quick actions, system stuff… you name it, it’s all tucked in there for easy reach. Meta’s like, “We’ve been charting this course forever, or at least for the last ten years.” I mean, it’s supposed to be intuitive… but then again, what isn’t, right?
So, you can pin stuff. Ten items max. Maybe you’ve got an app or two that you just can’t live without. Snacks for the brain, those apps. Oh, and multitasking? Supposedly a breeze now. But I wonder, who multitasks with a headset on? Probably someone who spends way too much time in VR.
And there’s this YouTuber, “The Construct,” showing it all off in some tutorial thing. If you’re curious, they’ve probably got the inside scoop.
Also, that Instagram bit? It’s getting this snazzy feature where photos morph into 3D without needing to be shot in 3D originally. Meta’s AI works its magic—though magic might be a strong word for it. Anyway, they’re aiming for a future where everything’s more, well, immersive. Not just a fad, they hope.
Oh, and if you’re keen to hop on this experimental bandwagon—because who isn’t curious—you’ve gotta get on their Public Test Channel. So, there you go. Grab your phone, fiddle with settings in the Meta Horizon app, and hey, maybe you’ll be one of the first to navigate this new VR realm.
And that’s it, more or less. Another day, another tech tweak. Bet my socks there’ll be another change before you know it.
