The most recent version of Meta Quest is now available, and as usual, it includes some useful enhancements. Henceforth, the broadcast will not end even if you remove the headset when livestreaming to the Meta Quest app. That ought to make disruptions less likely. Some changes are exclusive to Quest 3, such as the ability to use an external microphone through the USB-C port and better image clarity and resolution for the passthrough mixed reality capability.
But that’s not all. Users of Quest 3 will have access to an experimental feature that lets them utilize the headset in a supine position. All you’ll have to do to change your view when you lie down is hold the menu button if you activate the Use Apps While Lying Down option found in the Experimental section of the Settings.
As such, you should be able to kick back and relax into immersive media and gaming experiences without having to keep your head upright. Turning your head to see what’s going on elsewhere in the environment might be a bit more of a chore though.
Elsewhere, it’ll now be easier to meet up with friends in Horizon Worlds, if any of your friends actually use that app. Whenever a buddy is in a public world with their location turned on, you can join them from the People app in the universal menu.
