Meta Just Changed VR forever! Open Horizon OS, New VR Headsets & More!

Today's video truly has some massive news in it as Meta is preparing to change the VR scene forever. So, in today's video, we will discuss the new rise of Horizon OS, how it will replace our current Quest operating system, what it means for future updates and how the Meta Quest store will also change and remove the app lab. We will also talk about new headsets adopting Horizon OS, headsets such as one from Asus ROG, Lenovo and an Xbox Meta Quest Limited Edition. After we are done discussing this, we will move onto mentioning a Lasertag AR game and some big discounts currently happening on the Meta Quest. With more companies now coming out with VR headsets and adopting the Horizon OS from Meta hopefully consumers will have more choice as to which manufacturer they choose to buy VR headsets from! I hope you enjoy this video :D

Meta is actually becoming what we've always wanted for VR. They are doing the exact opposite of what we feared years ago when they changed the name to Meta. A-mazing.

Meta is doing great in VR industry . They are absolutely going to right way , it's really wonderful move which they let other companies use big library of meta

[@GreyAcumen]

There are only 2 headsets you should need: 1) lightweight, passthrough, moisture wicking - casual everyday use and exercise, basically just there to add HUD to your everyday tasks and provide anywhere video/screens to whatever you're doing. Ideally have eye+mouth tracking and allow you to output video images of your avatar for video conference calls without needing a physical camera actually pointing at you. 2) Full immersion track everything hand controls etc - VR deep dive simulation and games. This is for when you need to have full control over whatever it is you're doing in the virtual world. Ideally this will still have some fans and/or cooling options, and also have limb/eye/mouth tracking, but physical hand controls built off of what the index controllers started is a must. Passthrough is honestly optional here, but if you've got the cameras doing inside out tracking, you might as well let it do passthrough at the same time.

[@technolus5742]

There's only one headset you should need lol

[@GreyAcumen]

@@technolus5742 - Eh, I'm not going to be unrealistic though. Lightweight is never going to be lightweight ENOUGH. Hell, there was a team developing hud contacts (like the type that you wear on your eye) that actually seemed like they could work. But there's no way you can fit the processing power needed to give an immersive VR experience. Apple's VR just feels like AR gave up on standard glasses form factor, but it wants you to pretend it's still going to fill that same place in your lifestyle. On the other side, if I'm strapping 2lbs+ to my head, there better be one hell of an immersive VR experience.

[@technolus5742]

@@GreyAcumen lol true. I would like to see processing being offloaded to some external device that you could keep in your pocket like the vision pro battery. Don't really want to have on my face any more than the bare minimum, even for the most immersive experiences.

[@GreyAcumen]

@@technolus5742 - at that point, the space between the display and the processing becomes a bottleneck. I agree it would be better to have that weight at the back of the head for balance or something, then maybe have the actual battery at a belt on the waist or something where you can easily switch out an external battery pack, but I still want the focus to be on performance. I also eventually want to get to the point we have 4-5 hydraulic robot arms to suspend the player in midair and provide resistance to each of the limbs as the player comes into contact with the environment and also to use gravity to simulate movement and force in game. At that point,the bulk in the headset is going to feel a little secondary

[@bitinghairy8237]

How so?

[@iamterra6705]

@@bitinghairy8237 VR currently isn’t “commercial” enough for investors to back. For VR to have a healthy future it needs funding. Step 1: get HMDs into the masses hands. (Besides the Quest) The only way for over a decade to enjoy VR was gate-kept behind a bulky gaming pc (rip console owners) and thousands of dollars for the HMD. Step 2: Increase the content for VR. For years since the rise of the Quest it has been incredibly hard to get a game approved for the store. VR devs are already a minority, where they have it hard enough. Doing the most work for the least amount of pay and overall payoff. (Thankfully that is also now changing) TLdR: The more publicly accessible VR becomes as a familiar household name the more investors and companies back and develop content.

Is HorizonOS open source or open to install?

[@juschu85]

I doubt Apple pushed Meta to opening up to other manufacturers. Google did. They're currently working on their own XR version of Android and that could be a much bigger threat for Meta than Apple. The Vision Pro is not for gaming and it's $3500 or more. Google and their partners could release devices that are actually affordable. While Google also sells phones running Android, they're mainly the company that builds Android AAAAAAND, here it gets important, puts their Play Store on every Android phone, sucking out 30% of every sale. So at this point, Meta can't stop other manufacturers entering this market. When Google just gives them an XR version of Android, they gonna build the hardware for it. So let's assume Meta wouldn't opening up their software. The market could look a lot like what we see with smartphones. There would be a lot of manufacturers, most of them running Google's XR Android with the Play Store and only Meta and Apple having their own store for their devices. That is NOT what Meta wants. If there will be other manufacturers in this market anyway and they can't stop it anymore, at least they want them to be in Meta's Horizon ecosystem and not in Google's Play ecosystem. They want those 30% from the Horizon Store and they want control over the market with their Horizon OS.

[@NoX-512]

Exactly.

[@Simkets]

0:43 So does that mean I won't have to plug my Quest into my PC to download some spicy adult apps, or will those still be regulated? 🤣🤣😂😂

Might be related to downloading an apk but idk. I’m no expert, I just used some vr app with a Grox from Spore as the icon to install AnyDesk onto my headset. It’s pretty much the meta remote desktop but with mouse controls. Unfortunately the keyboard doesn’t work until you press enter.

As a traditional gamer coming to VR very recently, an Xbox partnership that mimicked the Xbox button layouts would be very helpful for knowing what to press without peaking under my headset. I also think Microsoft could bring a little experience to controller development for Quest 4. Open OS platform is wild and very exciting. I bet ROG will make a great headset. I hope I can afford it when upgrade time comes for me.

[@Mandrake42]

This worked for Google with Android, I can see where this route would be appealing. I mean they sell the headsets at a loss and make money from the store. More people on the store without them having to actually sell headsets at a loss makes sense. More competition will be good I think, though of course this still ties everything back to Meta's store. Interesting development and really not at all something I was expecting.

[@Gaskinmoo79]

The laser tag idea sounds awesome if you have access to a large space.

[@mromutt]

The quest is the jack of all trades headset :) so this is good to open up for someone that wants to make a fitness focused headset made with maybe lots of movement in mind, sweat and breathability. Or a media first headset with higher res screens and the most "optimal" lens for movies/video, really good built in speakers and or dac/amp for using good headphones and a super comfortable layout of the headset and band for long viewing but not really moving around a ton. Not that I will see one for awhile but also a content creator focused headset would probably be looked into (so many things you could do there to make that special). Education headsets will probably be a huge one, making them more budget, lighter, kid friendly. Same for business headsets.

[@SjaakSchulteis]

I like the idea to have a headset special for fitness alone. I'm using my Q3 for it often, but don't like to use it afterwards for watching movies. For PCVR gaming I use mainly my Pico4, so in a way I'm already doing the specialized use for each activity.

Although for general use I can't see the need for 'single use' headsets they may be targeted at specific use cases, e.g., and depending on the price, a gym could buy a batch of fitness headsets, a museum could buy a bunch for experience events or a pub could buy some for movie nights, etc. Just a thought.

I think that having headsets for a specific task is great as why have a full blown gamer capable headset if you only browse the web and watch HD movies ? a Nice light weight headset would be my go to as why watch movies on a $800 headset when a $400 or less could do the job and be half the weight maybe ? Also I worked in a Customer support office for a year just before I retired and a Headset able to copy the screens we used and have hand gesture rather than mouse would save so many RSI injuries and bad backs, there are thousands of reasons to have specific to needs versions, Architechs, Engineers Scientists, many that don't need game play, just either full immersive or great quality AR or minute detail capabilities as well as having something full scale or able to disassemble in real time. Even dare I say a compact version for Mechanics and such that can have a detailed list of tools or steps or even just tips or hints as they are working and can tick off as they complete sections, it could also help them make sure they have the tools and items they may need as they go, not sure myself but if they were the size of goggles or glasses and could be safety glasses at the same time ? I can bet you that we will see many Headsets, Goggles, Glasses and other items we may not even have thought of as we are not in that field, what about Dr''s and Nurses able to double check doses as well as a detailed patient screen to the side and able to update what has been done or what needs to be done for the patient, so many things possible :)

​@@BeyondtheAgesStudios I agree with you that privacy laws are needed. It's probably the only solution to the problem.

This is a warning shot to google who have refused to put the android play store on Quest because they are making their own mixed reality headset and have some companies of their own on board.

Imagine meta OS on PSVR 2

I hope the Microsoft partnership leads into being able to run full pcvr games from my Series X otherwise that is incredibly boring news.

The Meta Quest Xbox Edition could also bring an app to Link Xbox Series and Quest

So they're wanting to be the android of the vr world. If this doesn't help vr go main stream I don't know what will.

Meh, thru will make a big deal for MS and couple other customers, but it’s not like they are open sourcing it.

One for all OS

I think the full quote that we often leave out the end part of, is a supporting argument here for the single headsets that do a single thing. "A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one."

While I think you're right to be concerned about there being different headsets for all the use-cases, the fitness-oriented example would be something I'd give serious consideration. No way in hell would I exercise in my Quest Pro, my Quest 1 is way too front-heavy, and upgrading from my Quest 1 to a Quest 2 just for fitness feels like a colossal waste given how much tech not aimed squarely at fitness is crammed into that thing.

Dzień dobry. They're will take over the market in exactly the same way like android did :) Big win to all of us.

dzień dobry będzie jutro

Oby dzień był dobry 😉

[@hmgboixyooj]

They're trying to keep hacker or jailbreaker from getting free apps that aren't allowed third party into the vr, imagine someone using the vr and someone hacks into it they can see through your immersive world and record or use your location to find you 😅 that be scary asf

[@kaecatlady]

Honestly? If the xbox Quest 3 has the right specs and is black, I might hafta buy it. 😅
