He says that the device should feature crazy good hand tracking and rely only on hands for many tasks. Youtuber Sadly It’s Bradley claims to have had a tip about the headset coming at launch without controllers. The headset is still poised to cost more than $1000 and target a prosumer/enterprise audience. The headset, according to Bloomberg, will be called “Meta Quest Pro”, something which wouldn’t surprise us much, considering we were already expecting this name last year. We have two new interesting rumors about Project Cambria, the high-end headset from Meta coming this autumn.

More info (Quest to require Meta accounts - Kent Bye) Other relevant news (Image by Basti564, leaked from Meta software) Project Cambria may be called Quest Pro and come without controllers More info (Quest to require Meta accounts - Upload VR) More info (Quest to require Meta accounts - Road To VR) But I also think we should keep an eye open about what will happen in the future. And it will be easier to create multiple accounts for multiple headsets in educational contexts, like universities.Īt the end of the day, it is so a positive change, and we should all be happy about it. And thanks to this separation, probably the Quest could be sold again in Germany, with much happiness from my German friends.įurthermore, the Meta account has no “real name” policy. It was total nonsense that if you were suspended from Facebook for something you said on social media, you were also going to lose all the games you bought on your VR headset. The most important one is that finally your Facebook behavior is separated by your headset. I hope to be wrong, but I remember when we were all promised that we would have never needed a Facebook account to use an Oculus headset… and then we slowly got there over the years.īut even if on the privacy side little has changed with this switch to Meta accounts, talking with the community I have been able to appreciate some good effects of this decision. Plus, these years I’ve got to notice that Meta/Facebook always applies the “boiling frog” strategy with us users, so I guess that in the next years we will see this Meta account always more involved with ads, data profilation, integration with other Meta services (e.g. Meta is still Facebook’s parent company, and once your data has entered Meta’s systems, who knows what happens. In reality, I’ve commented on the news with much sarcasm, because a Meta account looks to me just a “same same but different but still the same” approach of the Facebook account. In August, all users will have to create these new Meta accounts: in 2023, Oculus accounts are not going to work anymore, as previously stated. It is optional for users to link the Meta account to the Facebook/Instagram accounts and have access to additional services. And the big news is that next month, this rule will be removed, and finally, the VR headset will be separated from the social media, with much rejoice of many people in the VR community.Īnyway, personal accounts on Quest aren’t going anywhere: every Quest user should create a mandatory Meta account, and also a mandatory Meta Horizon profile, which will be used every time you access the Horizon social VR worlds.

This week finally Meta has given us a follow-up on its previous promise of removing the mandatory Facebook login on Oculus Quest. Top news of the week (Image by Meta) Meta to substitute mandatory Facebook account with mandatory Meta account on Quest
