A first look at the 'Connected Accounts' setting in the Quest mobile app 👀

[NyaVR @nya_vr_]

@vr_oasis @Gwanatu @populationonevr But that's precisely what will happen (screenshot from https://t.co/E7cNIKhBWW).

I know lots of folks stopped watching Connect but these are relevant to folks interest.

Meta seems to work on some kind of persistent groups that people can join or create. They can also be public, such that you can find groups with like-minded gamers to play with. So, imagine filtering for groups that play certain games, have certain play styles and play times.

[NyaVR @nya_vr_]

@kip_jm I love that it's codenamed "Project Dubai".

Besides legs, some of the highlights found in PTC v57 are settings to enable and disable the avatar mirror, a new Horizon Worlds Portal in home, an Airplane Mode, and an Extended Battery Mode

The image shown here potentially shows that the Quest 3 will include an internal button for adjusting the headset's position, aiming to provide better comfort for individuals wearing glasses.

This was leaked by @nya_vr_ 6 months ago. The original tweet is in the 🧵.

[VR Panda. Alex From CHN @ZGFTECH]

Quest 3 leaked early again #metaquest #Quest3

[NyaVR @nya_vr_]

@Lunayian I assumed that is related to shared-space colocation / local multiplayer that was rolled out with Platform SDK v49. The video below shows similar animations (not exactly the same though).

Just saying, graphics and looks are probably not the main factors that determine success. Gorilla Tag proves that, but we already know that from the success of Nintendo platforms and mobile games

[NyaVR @nya_vr_]

Gorilla Tag looks awful

[Brad Lynch @SadlyItsBradley]

I’ve already watched a couple videos of people playing the Roblox on Quest stuff

Dear God, it looks absolutely awful. If this crap takes over as the top thing to do on Quest, you all are fucked lmao

[NyaVR @nya_vr_]

A few more details revealed through the event mentioned above:
- it's indeed a new first-party studio
- 7 people are part of it
- spun off from the Horizon team
- the name comes (mainly) from "ouroboros"
- its logo is seen below

[NyaVR @nya_vr_]

Ouro Interactive. First time I read that name. Meta seems to have a least one newly founded first-party studio, in this case working on a Horizon game.

[NyaVR @nya_vr_]

In April & May, the Quest 2 also still had the increased price of $399/$499 which already had shown to significantly mute the demand in the prior months.

[NyaVR @nya_vr_]

"down 39% due to lower Quest 2 sales", kinda expected though considering that we're fastly approaching the Quest 3 launch.

[Brad Lynch @SadlyItsBradley]

Meta Reality Labs segment has received half the revenue this quarter compared to last year

Losses have also increased from the same time periods

[NyaVR @nya_vr_]

@Jacky2Chau It's the official "Meta Horizon Worlds Community" server.

[NyaVR @nya_vr_]

@NathieVR @MetaQuestVR @facebook In the works, at least.

[NyaVR @nya_vr_]

While they keep working on live streaming on Facebook, it seems there will also be some sort of support for YouTube.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

so Twitter has a new system to make handsome payments to "creators," but there's no open application process and the biggest beneficiaries just happen to be Elon fluffers. Sounds legit. https://t.co/HyE9fy5hxQ

[NyaVR @nya_vr_]

This btw seems a good way to find some of the Twitter people you are following who shared their profile here.

[NyaVR @nya_vr_]

impressively, in less than a day i've already connected with more than 12% of my twitter network

[NyaVR @nya_vr_]

We are now very well at over 25% 👀 Which kind of tracks/reflects the relative size of the platforms to each other very well. 100m sign-ups / around 400m Twitter MAUs.
