So, what do you think? Are we on the brink of a VR revolution, where do you think we’re headed? Drop your thoughts in the comments below—and let’s discuss!
I'm sure Meta will get a lot of money from licensing it. Did I say that right?
Virtual Reality has been gimmicky the last few years but it feels like we’re finally in the beginning stages of VR becoming mainstream.
Thanks Cas and Chary XR. I think this is a good thing.
rumor is xbox is doing the same with their consoles. Opening up for other manufacturers to make thier own xbox. The walled garden ecosystem doesn't work in 2024.
I would love to see mod support as well.
When Mark Zuckerberg said he wanted to be the Microsoft’s open Windows OS for the Meta Quest versus Apple’s closed Vision OS when he reviewed the Vision Pro, he had put this on the back burner. He finally has a significant competition, and it shows.
Cool but not likely the opened sourced it. Making private deals isn’t really open imo.
Have you played Runner yet?
Meta wouldn’t be doing this if it wasn’t good for their business. It ensures no competing platform like Android XR can get a foothold in the industry.
So I don’t think they’re really mellowing out.
It will be interesting to see if other companies can make decent headsets so late in the game.
They need to make a smaller version of quest 3. Same thing …only smaller and lighter.
I can see the Xbox-branded headset having some kind of Xbox overlay for the system and, in the future, providing access to an Xbox store and apps on top of it. It's sort of like how Samsung operates its devices on Android. You still have access to the Playstore, but also Samsung's store (which I never use).
What could that mean for horizon worlds? Could it mean upgrades for how we interact, maybe e-commerce opportunity or more capacity for creating?
Is the meta vr software advanced than visionOS
Great news !
It makes me worried that our beloved quest will be overshadowed and left behind
Meta is only partnering with 3rd party vendors with their Meta Horizon OS because Zuckerberg wants to own the Metaverse
Those same partners will have to compete with Meta headsets that are sold at a subsidized price
With Apple now in the spatial computing arena.
Meta felt the need to do this now
Great video and info Thanks for sharing new subscriber here!
Anytime big VR news happens most of the time only VR channels cover it. Big gaming channels ignore the news or they demonize it. VR will never get big, unfortunately. The other headsets will probably fail.
Maybe we’ll get a Horizon OS headset with a decent FoV in the foreseeable future rather than whenever Oculus decides to finally make it a priority.
it seems like Meta is still intent on controlling content — like buying a car and only being able to drive on roads controlled by the manufacturer
We're about to watch Zuc's transformation into the evil CEO from Ready Player One
Meta need its own original OS , like HUAWEI's Harmony OS, replace the android step by step
Their os is trash at the store… time to upgrade it
That’s really smart they are doing what android did for smart phones
I already have trackers but i want quest vrchat full body tracking no pc😢
we are on the second step, going on the third (2028/2027/end of 2026), before the real totally vr/ar generation and the use with it, with16k resolution (8k per eye) for the premium devices (near 2031/2032/2033), but I wonder if there will be a device running "unrecord" with full path/raytracing, 16k … one day … i mean before 2050 or never (who knows…)
shrug
So…can we install horizon os on quest 1? 😂
Very very interesting video, thanks Cas. And yes, it will be very interesting to see what happens in the future. Funny sidenote – is that I watch a Sim Racing Channel that uses an overlay so that it "appears" like your watching the video thru a racing-helmet. So it was funny to watch your video, when every time you talked direct to the camera – your table/desk/curved monitor (I think?) made it look like I was watching you talk thru my own VR Headset. EG @ 9:54 for example, hahahaha. [;]-)
One headset for everything is best, makes no sense to have to buy 2 3 or 4 different ones. Development will be hell, to many choices, price variations, and the stores should remain separate leave the shovelware out please. Don’t be like Nintendo.
"a lot of great apps were released on app lab instead"
Cuts to gorilla tag 😂
❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Psvr2 player my self..i hope xbox bring vr to the console…this is the only way vr will survive in consoles
Hope they eventually go the full Google Android route; make the base OS FOSS, but require licensing to support the Meta store + some proprietary niceties. I love Android because I can opt for ungoogled GrapheneOS so I can fully control my device. Wish I could do that with my Quest.
Took Microsoft long enough to get into the mix. I doubt it’ll happen but anHalo VR game will be pretty cool.
I’m kind of hoping we see VR connectivity for Xbox console games, we’ve currently got VR on some PC games (msfs, Rally 2.0) so here’s hoping.
This is amazing news, all coming together at long last, I have psvr2 and that’s going onto pc some how and with meta opening up ther is, this is all good news for vr and make it or mainstream plus affordable.
Gonna be interesting to see headsets from Asus ROG and Lenovo Legion but I like the idea of letting us choose the hardware as we would with a gaming laptop or an android phone. That's really going to drive massive innovation in hardware which will then give us more immersive software.
I been using Facebook vr for 9 years now, and this news pisses me off. The worst part about any meta VR is the software.
Meta going so open is amazing, from opensource AI to open VR, amazing.
Hmmm. Pimax Crystal should be capable of running Quest OS in stand alone mode.
