The time has come. On August, 5th, all the applications published on Meta App Lab will become official apps on the Meta Horizon (aka Quest) Store! We are very close to the deadline and you must be sure that your app is ready for that. But what do you need to do? Let Tony tell you everything you need to know… App Lab is going to disappear via GIPHY App Lab has been for a few years the indie store of the Meta Quest.
Taking a dance course can be intimidating, not to mention time consuming—but it doesn’t have to be. At least not when you can do it in VR (and MR). Led by instructors Rodrigo Cortazar and Asya Sonina, The New Salsa Academy launched recently, guiding you through each step of an entire beginner salsa course. Exclusively available on Quest, The New Salsa Academy comes with a few unique features to get you up and salsa-ing, making for a much more immersive experience than simply following da
Connect is around the corner. While not the biggest event of the year, it generally draws more mainstream attention to XR in spaces than more niche but larger overall events like MWC, AWE, and CES. With the broader audience that comes with Connect, expect new product announcements from firms looking to join the moment, such as HTC VIVE, which is also readying a new product.
A new game for Quest 3 gives you a mixed reality drone to fly in your living room. As we work to update our best mixed reality games list , we discovered Bomber Drone while looking through the latest mixed reality titles available on Meta's store. Using Quest 3’s color passthrough, the game transforms your play space into a mixed reality warzone and it even uses Quest 3’s room meshing to incorporate every nook and cranny of your physical space into the action. 0:00 / 1:30 1× The room mesh – whic

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.
The Somnium VR1 is finally here. After introducing their cutting-edge PC virtual and mixed reality headset at CES 2023, Somnium Space has now officially entered the XR hardware market. Somnium Space has been experimenting with extended reality and metaverse opportunities for a while now, offering access to virtual environments where people can collaborate, share ideas, and even build their own experiences with the added security of the blockchain.
Apple has released its quarterly earnings without indicating how the Vision Pro is selling. On an earnings call with investors, CEO Tim Cook said the headset now has 2,500 native apps and 1.5 million compatible apps (because of the wider App Store) but stopped short of offering any hard numbers. “Vision Pro users are customising their own workspaces, watching movies on 100-foot screens, and exploring entire worlds with just a pinch of their fingertips,” Cook said.

Capping off an extensive (and expensive) week for Intel, the company has also announced that they are taking additional steps to address the ongoing chip stability issues with desktop Raptor Lake chips – the 13 th and 14 th Generation desktop Core processors. In order to keep owners whole, Intel will be extending the warranty on retail boxed Raptor Lake chips by two years, bringing the cumulative warranty for the chips to five years altogether.
There’s certainly no shortage of great accessories you can purchase for your Meta Quest 3 these days, from ultra-ergonomic headbands, to extra battery packs. However, the Meta Quest 3 prescription lenses are (in my opinion), a true must have purchase for many users. These days, as virtual, mixed, and augmented reality headsets are growing more popular among consumers and business users alike, you’d think more vendors would consider the needs of people with eyesight issues.
Can card games succeed in VR? Back in February, I was lucky enough to reach out into the world of Yu-Gi-Oh! in VR in an experiment that sought to bring the card game to life, with the character interactions and holograms for monsters that you would expect. It was the dream of fans, and if there was only one complaint amidst the slack-jawed awe of the experience it would be that, as a proof of concept above all else, you have a relative lack of control and interactivity in determining the outcome
In an unexpected announcement during their quarterly earnings call this week, Western Digital revealed that it has begun sampling an upcoming 32TB hard drive. The nearline HDD is aimed at hyperscalers, and relies on a combination of Westen Digital's EAMR technology, as well as shingled magnetic recording (SMR) technology to hit their highest capacity figures to date.
With a rapidly changing economy, Avangrid Renewables looked to virtual reality to develop a standardized form of immersive training in order to onboard and upskill technicians faster than ever before.
HTC cut the price of Vive XR Elite from $1100 to $900 in the US. Vive XR Elite is HTC's most recent standalone headset, launched early last year, and its first targeted to consumers instead of just businesses. XR Elite features the same kind of small early pancake lenses as 2021's Vive Flow, and uses the original generation Snapdragon XR2 chip also used in Quest 2.
The trend towards miniaturization of desktop systems was kickstarted by the Intel NUCs in the early 2010s. The increasing popularity of compact PCs also led to the introduction of a variety of slightly larger form-factors. Custom boards falling in size between the NUC's 4" x 4" ultra-compact form-factor (UCFF) and industrial-applications oriented 3.5" SBC have also gained traction.

A flight simulator rig using a VR headset has been FAA qualified for the first time. The rig in question is Loft Dynamics' simulator for the Airbus Helicopters H125 (formerly known as Eurocopter AS350 Squirrel) helicopter. FAA qualification means US helicopter pilots can now use this simulator to train and receive credit toward official pilot ratings.
