Well, here we are — Meta and its fancy Quest updates. So, what’s cookin’? Meta’s doing some kind of UI shuffle, and I’m here for it. Or, maybe I’m just here with my coffee, half-interested. Anyway, let’s dive into this mess.
They’re playing around with this new thing called Navigator. Think of it like your phone’s home screen, but slap it on your face with VR. Meta’s putting all your apps and whatever else you might need up front and center. Kinda neat, I guess? They’re rolling it out in the v77 update — whatever that means. I once messed up a software update, and my computer almost turned into a toaster, so be careful.
Oh, and there’s this whole thing about seeing 3D Instagram pics too. Like, now your brunch photos can really pop out at you — if that’s your jam. Meta’s using some AI wizardry to do this, automatically transforming good ol’ 2D. Sounds ambitious, or just crazy enough to work. Who knows.
Back to Navigator — Meta’s been teasing it since Connect 2024, and it’s finally coming. It’s like they took ten years of learning and crammed it into this. It’s supposed to be smooth, intuitive, and kinda unobtrusive. Makes multitasking easier, apparently. But hey, I’ve been known to get distracted, so maybe I wasn’t paying attention.
They’re running a limited test first, letting some folks on the Public Test Channel play around with it. Not me, though. I haven’t even figured out how to sign up. If you feel brave, you can go ahead and toggle on the ‘Public Test Channel’ in your headset settings.
So, that’s the scoop. Meta’s trying to make your head-spaces more engaging. Personally, I’d just like my photos to not blur at a pinch — but this? Quite the leap.
