Arrr! Ye ol' Meta Quest 3, Meta Quest Pro, an' Oculus Quest 2 be gettin' blessed with native spatial video support through update v62. Set yer sights on a grand adventure, me hearties, as ye immerse yerselves in this technological treasure trove!
Meta has released software update v62 for its Meta Quest 3, Quest Pro, and Quest 2 devices. The update makes it easier to watch spatial video recordings on Quest hardware, a feature previously only available on Apple's Vision Pro. Users can now upload captured footage through the Meta Quest mobile app, which will automatically convert and send it to the headset. The recordings can be found in the spatial videos section of the Files menu on the Quest headset.Making spatial video more accessible on Quest hardware is significant, as it has been a standout feature of the Apple Vision Pro. However, Quest spatial video requires an iPhone 15 Pro, while the Vision Pro allows users to use either an iPhone or the headset itself. This exclusivity may change in the future as other smartphone manufacturers are expected to launch headsets of their own.
In addition to the spatial video feature, software update v62 also includes other improvements. Meta has added support for a wider array of controllers, such as the PS5 DualSense and PS4 DualShock, for playing games through apps like Xbox Cloud Gaming. Livestreaming to Facebook is now available to all Quest users, and it is now possible to see chat while streaming on YouTube. Hand-tracking controls have also been improved.
Overall, the v62 update enhances the user experience on Meta Quest devices, making it easier to watch spatial video recordings and introducing other useful features and improvements.
