According to news on June 5, Meta launched the v66 update for Quest 3, which solved three major pain points that troubled users in one go: perspective mode picture distortion, gesture recognition inconvenience in calling up menus, and background audio pauses.
first,The problem of perspective mode picture distortion that has troubled users for a long time has finally been improved.In the past, in the perspective mode of Quest series devices, the real-world image would be significantly distorted, affecting the user experience. After the update, this problem has been greatly alleviated, and the real-world picture is clearer.
Secondly, the v66 update introduces a new way to summon menus - wrist buttons. Users can easily bring up the menu with just a touch of a new button on their wrist, saying goodbye to the cumbersome gesture recognition operation of the past (requiring looking at the palm and pinching the fingers).
at last,The v66 update also adds the highly anticipated background audio feature. Now, when a user launches a browser or plays music or video in a VR device, the playback will not be automatically paused even if the app is minimized. This means that users can play VR games while listening to their favorite music, improving the diversity of VR experiences.
The update also brings support for HD Netflix on the web. In addition, the update also brings many useful small features, such as hiding applications, automatically identifying room objects (windows, doors, tables, etc.) to improve the realism of MR games, and synchronizing photos and videos in the headset to web albums wait.
Some features of this update are not exclusive to Quest 3. For example, wrist buttons and background audio features will also be launched on Quest 2 and Quest Pro. However, the perspective display improvements are only available on Quest 3, and the update will be pushed out in batches (technically separate from the v66 update).
It is worth mentioning that another big problem reported by users is that Quest series devices tend to run out of power or require forced updates after being idle for a period of time. In this regard, Meta seems to be actively improving. According to former Oculus CTO John Carmack, the problem of excessive idle power consumption is being improved. At the same time, after the update, long pressing the power button will bring up a new "sleep mode" option. As long as the headset is connected to the power supply, the device can be backgrounded in sleep mode. renew.
