We're Here. A message from our founders: hello.vrchat.com/blog/were-here

@Lunayian Actually on the 2.1 PTC Meta removed the Navigator, is the same for you? Do you know how trigger the Navigator being that there's not any option to enable it?

Useless fun fact: HzOS actually has two different versions of Navigator's minimized window Control Bar pills. One is made and/or animated with C++ (top middle) and the other uses Jetpack Compose (top left). Why? I don't actually know, but it seems to be related to performance.

We are less than $3,500 away from smashing the 2nd stretch goal!! Let's add those side quests into Gallia!!!!

Something is taking flight! #PICO2026

@Jacky2Chau Meta AI? Not sure

The hidden hand tracking feature for the Quest 3 has started rolling out, but there are clearly only six function buttons—how did this interface turn into a 3x3 grid directly? The layout is really ugly.

"This is not the end of VR. It's not collapsing. If you pay attention to what's going to be coming out from Meta and others over the next 12 months, you're going to see a lot of progress." @PalmerLuckey gives his latest perspective on the VR industry: John: "How are you thinking about VR these days? Everyone's sort of writing down their investments and pulling back." Palmer: "I will challenge your premise there, which is that people are pulling back. I think that's driven mostly by people sensationalizing Meta firing a bunch of people." "They got rid of 10% of the Reality Labs team in one layoff. Remember that they have something like 8% or 9% annual churn naturally and organically, not including firings. So what you're really talking about is basically pulling six months of churn forward into a single month. And they're still spending more on VR than anybody by an order of magnitude." "Meta and Sony and Apple and Google and all of these other companies are going to be hitting the [Apple Vision Pro] level of visual fidelity. They're going to be doing it with headsets that are far smaller, far lighter than what you see from Vision Pro. And I actually remain very optimistic."

@ImmersedRobot Honestly after "the work of visionaries or a legendary misadventure" memo, I feel like Horizon World on Mobile it's a strategy to kill it slowly over time. Waiting to get big on Mobile and then again add Horizon Worlds to the Headsets, for me it's unlucky.

I barely went into Horizon Worlds, although I would love a Ready Player One style Oasis - which might've been the dream it was aiming at... some point in the future. So I'm still sort of sad all VR functionality is being deprecated soon. Did "we win"? reddit.com/r/MetaQuestVR/…

Piuttosto importante per il futuro dei Quest!

visionOS 26.4 adds a new Foveated Streaming framework Yes. That is the exact same feature that Valve is advertising with the Steam Frame’s eye tracked wireless PCVR functionality developer.apple.com/documentation/…

New Profile UI

Still don't have the navigator but I've updated from v85 to v2.1 wow. I've only seen that the UI changed when choosing from multiple Profiles, and some systems notifications are referring to the Navigator.

Ita: Non ho il Navigator, ma ho aggiornato dalla v85 alla v2.1, oltre alla scelta dei profili che ha cambiato leggermente la UI e qualche notifica di sistema che richiama il Navigator non noto differenze.

@SkarredGhost I've asked this question to Boz, but really that was my point, if you don't make first party and don't found big third party, what possible do you add to the third party? Maybe just coverage and marketing..

In this Q&A on Insta, Boz confirmed #Meta is working on two headsets and also that they're still funding 3rd party #VirtualReality content on the Horizon Store. This is good news, but then I'm confused about the reason for all the recent 3rd party studios layoffs happening because of a lack of funding (probably because they were expecting money from Meta itself). May it be that Meta is now more interested in giving small checks to indie titles instead of paying millions for big games? And the other question is: it is good to fund indie titles... but can an ecosystem thrive if there are no more new big games that attract users back to their headsets (e.g. Batman)? I guess we'll see... If you want to watch the videos of Boz's answers, you can find them on Reddit: reddit.com/r/OculusQuest/… and reddit.com/r/OculusQuest/… Let me know your thoughts!

Grande news da parte di Nori riguardanti il visore di Meta 2027

@Sora_Sakurai 🥺 hoping that both of you will get better

ふくらしは足がおぼつかなく自身で食べることはもうできないですが、お水は小皿で差し出すと飲んでくれます。 しかし、飼い主の方が回転性のめまいにかかってしまいました… ふたりでふらふら。 横になるとより激しく回る錯覚で、もどしました。医者にはかかりましたが、めまい止め、吐き気止めの効果も現状薄く。 やはり、気持ち的なものがあるのでしょうかね。

@QuestWithMatt I've actually asked the fist one, but was a nothing-answer

👀 #Quest3

By far the best tracking volume for 6DoF, controller tracking, hand-tracking and on-device VLM/CV/AI with the Qualcomm XR2 Gen 2, featuring 16GB of RAM and an impressive ISP.

📢 Developers & creators: UI and discovery changes on Meta Quest are coming in v85. The Horizon Feed in VR will be gradually sunsetted and replaced with Navigator, helping users jump into experiences faster. Learn more 👉 bit.ly/4sQ4U4l #MetaHorizon #MetaQuest #VR
