So, okay, Meta’s doing this thing again. They’re tinkering with the Quest, specifically Horizon OS version… um, v77, I think. Anyway, they’ve got this new launcher overlay — whatever that means. Something about changing the dock-based UI. Oh, and get this: some people are spotting 3D Instagram photos in their feed on Quest. Weird, right? But, kinda cool too.
Remember Connect 2024? Seemed far away, didn’t it? Well, it’s now… and they’re rolling out something called the Navigator. It’s, like, a central spot for all your apps and quick actions. Meta goes on about how it’s supposed to make life easier. It’s like, “Hey, pin your top 10 apps here and multitask away!” But does it really change my life? Not sure, but maybe it does for some folks.
This new UI, Navigator, is supposedly a breeze for us smartphone addicts. Familiar layout and all that jazz. “The Construct,” a YouTuber or something, already showed it off with a video. Imagine finding time to watch a tutorial… maybe one day.
Meta’s been crafting Navigator for ages, based on their “years of discovery” — all while probably sipping artisanal coffee at HQ. It’s gonna be tested by a few lucky people in the Public Test Channel, or PTC for short. Slowly sweeping across devices like an overly cautious ninja.
And, surprise! Instagram’s getting a makeover on Quest. Apparently, it’s going 3D. The AI’s out here transforming old flat photos into more “depthy” ones or something. It’s like diving into the photo, kinda. Meta calls it a peek into the future, a 3D world coming at us. Cue dramatic sci-fi music, right?
Oh, and for those brave souls wanting to dive into the PTC, there’s a whole process involving apps and ‘headset settings’ and toggles. But hey, who doesn’t love a good set of instructions, especially when they come with a side of unintentional comedy?
There it is. Fun times with Meta. Here’s to not getting dizzy with all the updates. Or maybe we’ll just let it roll and see where it takes us.
