Meta Connect again saw its usual torrent of announcements this year, this time including the official unveiling of Quest 3S , as well as its new prototype AR glasses, Orion. Notably missing however was company’s three partner headsets from Asus, Lenovo and Xbox. Where are they? Back in April, Meta revealed plans to open its Android-based XR operating system Horizon OS to third-party manufacturers for the first time, signaling a monumental shift in the company’s role as the sole head
Alex Coulombe leads the NYC-based XR creative studio, Agile Lens: Immersive Design. On Wednesday, after Meta’s keynote address, UploadVR’s Ian Hamilton was invited by Coulombe to observe his scheduled Orion demo. While we would have preferred to bring you first-hand impressions directly from UploadVR, and we’ve been told by Meta they may do future demos in New York, until that happens we’ve asked Coulombe to write for us from his expert perspective about his time in the glasses.
One of the biggest gripes developers have with creating mixed reality content for Quest has been the lack of access to the headset’s cameras. That’s about to change. At Connect this week, Meta VP of VR/AR Mark Rabkin announced that developers will soon be able to access a new camera Passthrough API, which is slated to come “early next year.” The release is expected to enable “all kinds of cutting-edge MR experiences,” Rabkin said on stage, which is set to incl
Prominent supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claims mass production of a refreshed Apple Vision Pro with an M5 chipset is expected to begin in the second half of 2025. Ming-Chi Kuo has been reporting on Apple's supply chain for more than 10 years. While many of his claims end up at least partially true, it's important to note that others don't. The current Apple Vision Pro , released seven months ago, uses Apple's M2 chipset.

To avoid awkward and sometimes disastrous learning content, instructional designers must use authentic translation in the right context to get optimal results. For example, even a simple phrase like “got milk” translates to “are you lactating” in Mexico. Can you imagine what a straight translation might do to your course? With over 317 million people in the US and over 6.7 billion potential customers in the world, personalizing training seems logical.
Distance Technologies has raised $10 million for its mixed reality solution through a seed round of funding led by Google Ventures. The mixed reality (MR) developer for the automotive, defence, and aerospace industries can turn any transparent surface into a glasses-free and headset-free window onto which it can project a 3D light for a comprehensive MR experience.

Can Meta Quest 3 lock a device remotely, and how do you wipe and lock your devices when you don’t have access to them? I’ll tell you everything you need to know in this guide. Losing your Meta Quest 3 headset (or worse, having it stolen), can be problematic for a range of reasons. Even if you’re just an everyday Quest user, someone who can access your device might be able to log into your Meta account and access a lot of personal information.
Let me preface this by saying I'm not a huge fan of puzzle games. They often lose charm by focusing on one solution when open-ended puzzles are some of my favorites. I don't want a jigsaw - I want to be a detective-style thinker. Hide the Corpse is one of the best puzzle games with a unique premise, and it's only possible in virtual reality. Developed by Realcast, who previously released Just Hoops , Hide the Corpse appeared on Meta Quest headsets earlier this year in early access before receivi
That was a wrap. Another year, another Meta Connect. Zuckerberg’s firm had to hit big this year. Apple debuted the Vision Pro earlier in the year and stole the line light during the first half of 2024. However, with Meta Connect and its announcements, namely Orion, it seems that Meta is looking to grab the second half of 2024 by showcasing highly innovative wearable XR technology.
Flappy Experience is a clone of Flappy Bird with first-person gameplay, and it's free on Apple Vision Pro.

The updated Messages app for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS has creative new ways for you to format and send messages, from standard text formatting to fun text effects. But Apple also includes another way to make your messages appear precisely as you want: more control over how links appear for you and your recipients. While you get the most control over links in iMessage conversations, you can also customize how links appear in SMS, MMS, and RCS chats with Android users.
Remote meetings are here to stay - and many are BORING. If you are trying to engage your learners (or any audience), compelling content is critical. But trying to create stimulating content with the same tools you’ve always had is hard, right? Thankfully, wrong! Terrific tools in PowerPoint along with visual assets help you create the kind of dynamic content you need to capture your remote audience’s attention, with functions that allow for interactive sequences and navigation.

Things just got a lot better in your iPhone's Messages app, and the most significant change lets you text Android users with iMessage-like features such as typing indicators, read receipts, large file sharing, high-quality photos and videos, and even emoji reactions.

Apple has completely redesigned its Calculator app for iPhone, and it's now powerful and practical enough to replace any third-party calculator you've been using. With the iOS 18 software update released on Sept. 16, your iPhone's Calculator app has more than just a few useful new features and changes. From its integration with Notes to its new conversion abilities, Apple has redefined what a calculator can be, making the app a worthy upgrade for solving basic math problems and even charting gra

With 191 country signatories to the Paris Climate Agreement now hard at work in the race to zero carbon by 2050, much of the heavy lifting in ecosystem sustainability falls on the shoulders of the world's densely populated urban centers. This conversation considers how today's AI-enabled simulation media, such as AR/VR, can be effectively applied to accelerate learning, understanding, training, and solutions-modeling to sustainability planning and design.
You could already schedule an email to send on a specific day and time in Apple's Mail app, but that functionality is now also available in the Messages app. What's even better is that scheduled messages sync across your iPhone, iPad, and Mac, something you don't get in the Mail app. To schedule texts in the Messages app, you must be running iOS 18, iPadOS 18, or macOS 15 Sequoia, which were released on Sept. 16.
At first glance, Apple's Messages app has always seemed pretty basic when it comes to text formatting options. However, there were and still are hidden ways to format text in your messages. But Apple's latest software updates give us even more ways to dress up text in messages, including more text effects. In older software versions, you could bold text in the Messages app by unlocking the subject line.
The updated Messages app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac has some really cool new features, but the one you may end up using the most is something you're already familiar with: Tapbacks. With iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia 15, Tapbacks are improved and contain even more reactions to choose from. If you haven't heard of Tapbacks yet on your iPhone or iPad, you can tap twice on or touch and hold a message to find them.
