@azadux.com Hey, absolutely loving Scaniverse for simple ”intro to XR production” course I run for primary school teachers. 2 suggestions/requests:

1) in the library feed, please indicate if an item has been ”created share link” for or been posted to public map, makes it easier to batch manage.

Do Americans somehow think this is more acceptable than saying the n-word? Do ANY non-Americans?

Has anyone ever succeeded in local multiplayer MR gaming when one of the headset wearers is NOT an accustomed Quest user? Just tried Home Sports and failed miserably - the play space aligned wrongly and everyone just ended up frustrated. Would be fun but UX simply sucks.

Trying to activate a newly bought Quest 3S (on a new Meta account) but it gets stuck in "applying software updates" forever (before pairing to account). Have tried multiple factory resets, quickly end up in same loop. Tried different wifi connections. Did I get a brick?

It's funny how Quest 3 seems to be living through a delayed popularity wave. A little bit like how covid reframed the value of Quest 2 (released end of 2020 but sales spiking in 2021)...

Is there a Biology/STEM education starter pack out there? I found the plant science one, but I want to find the educators out there too. 👩‍🏫

@GoogleARVR Hey is there any chance of getting WebXR support for the amazing Google Expeditions content, now hosted on @googlearts ? Things like this would be amazing to navigate in the Quest browser: https://artsandculture.google.com/story/5wWROHCCbH2fSQ (I guess a new Expeditions...

VR devs: Is Depth API not available on Quest 3S, due to the lack of depth sensor? https://developers.meta.com/horizon/documentation/unity/unity-depthapi-overview/

Ok the Optimus robots being teleoperated but not disclosed as such is pretty frustrating to see people fawn over. Almost like people believing the Codec Avatars in Lex's Zuck interview were being rendered in headset, but in a more deceptive way.

Did anyone get Quest casting to the desktop app (Link) to work? It didn't want to connect for me.
January 28, 2025 at 5:09 PM
Has anyone tried the new option in casting? When clicking "PC" it prompts to connect with Link. Looks like maybe casting 2.0 moved to users and not just Quest Developer Hub pros.

This guy is so annoying. Like, do you want me to stay out of your business or not (as indicated by you blocking/silencing me after asking honest questions)?

Please take your fake headset somewhere else and put in SOME effort at curating your community.

Apple Vision Pro showed the XR industry an admirable aspiration of what to build.

Meta's Orion demo showed consumers a desirable future of what to buy.
January 28, 2025 at 5:14 PM
Zuck - the definition of "putting your money where your mouth is". So many have been tried to will him into switching course. With Orion, he showed those men of will what will really is.

Who would have thought?
January 28, 2025 at 5:14 PM
Are my eyes wonky or was the stream of Connect keynote in Horizon Worlds actually in stereo video? Looked so good.
January 28, 2025 at 5:14 PM
Getting a sneak preview of Orion today feels like as if Apple would have demoed Vision Pro in 2019. Amazing teaser of what will end up on consumers' faces. Congrats to all involved, what a gargantuan feat.
January 28, 2025 at 5:15 PM
Ok so "Quest Pro 2" is definitely gonna steal that shmexy wireless compute puck architecture from Orion (I guess).

And with a displayport in the puck..? (This I don't actually guess)

A long-awaited avatar refresh is coming to Quest/Horizon avatars. Looks promising.
January 28, 2025 at 5:15 PM
With multi-tasking with 2D windows on Quest finally here, it'd be GREAT to have one or more of those windows work as passthrough portals. Use case:
- play Beat Saber in living room while still contactable by family members in couch
- watch an IRL door/window
