Alright, so get this — Meta’s up to something new with their Quest thingamajig. They’ve thrown in this update, v77, I think, and shuffled stuff around, but in a fun way. Some folks might suddenly spot 3D Instagram pics — yes, on Quest. Aren’t they fancy?
So, they hinted back at Connect 2024 about this Navigator thing. Finally rolling it out. Imagine a cool hub where apps, system stuff, quick actions just hang out together, ready for you to poke at them. I mean, didn’t we kinda expect this? You can pin like, up to 10 things — quick multitasking magic. Handy for those with a brain like a scrambled egg, and who doesn’t wanna connect with what they love, ASAP, right?
Think of it like your smartphone’s cousin or whatever, but in your headset. New UI is said to feel just like home for mobile fans. This YouTuber, ‘The Construct’, does a whole dance around it — makes it seem almost simple. Meta’s like, “Yeah, we’ve been cooking this up for years, it’s slick, trust us.” Navigator’s sneaking its way to a few lucky ducks in the Public Test Channel — watch out for v77 if you’re itching to try it.
Then, bam, there’s Instagram — throwing 3D photo magic into the mix. Meta’s testing how these flat 2D snaps can bloom into 3D wonders. Talk about living in the future, right? And they’re teasing more, saying this is just the start — our usual social scroll turning into some VR dreamworld. We’re not fully there yet, but oh boy, the breadcrumbs they’re leaving!
Oh, and if you’re feeling brave and want to dive into the Public Test Channel waters — grab your phone, open up the Meta Horizon app, and fiddle around in ‘Devices’ under ‘Headset settings’. Toggle ‘Public Test Channel’ on, and you’re in. Easy peasy. Maybe tomorrow, all our 2D natures will be some 3D spectacle. What a world.
