To make this as easy as possible before signing into Roblox on your meta quest 2 go ahead and create an account or sign into your account on roblox.com either on the mobile app or in a browser.

Now back inside your Quest 2 head set head to the lower quest task bar and hit the search icon, then go up to the search bar type in Roblox. Side note: you can also save the game to your headset with the link on app lab to the beta.

On your quest from here, you'll see Roblox show up there on the left under app lab. Click the icon with your quest 2 controller trigger then click view in store. Once this loads click download.

By the way the beta file size is 189mb

Once it's installed, click start, you'll see the Roblox logo come up and then you'll see a log in screen pop up after that.

Awkwardly use your head to maneuver the green dot over log in with another device and click trigger on that box and then you'll get your character code to enter in on the roblox website.

Now take your headset off, and head over to your computer or mobile device go up to the settings in the right hand corner, then click quick log in and type in the character that you got from your headset.

Click the enter button and then confirm log in and boom now you're in!

Head back over to your quest 2 headset and you'll see a familiar home screen pop up and choose whatever experience or game you want to check out and click play.

I will say this is a little janky up front, but I'm sure they're working on it and again, it's a beta test but hey its roblox vr on your quest 2!

The folks working at Meta’s reality labs have built a prototype standalone VR headset that can produce photo realistic avatars.

With a custom built chip designed with I’m a real boy energy, reality labs is aiming to create video game mocap like avatars that animate in real time and in high detail using a combination of eye and mouth tracking sensors along with the black magic that is Artificial intelligence.

To make this a reality in a standalone quest like headset Meta built a custom chip with a 7 nanometer process with Codec Avatars specifically in mind. The chip was specially made for analyzing eye tracking images and features a neural network accelerator. 

The codec’s AI model was reworked to take advantage of this new small chip that is able to perform at 30 frames a second with low power consumption and of course lower heat. No worry of VR faceburn.

This new chip is then coupled with the Quest 2 snapdragon XR2 CPU to handle the encoding process and render the actual visuals of your realistic avatar.

Of course this is an ongoing work in research and development but the future is always bright for VR innovation. Maybe one day this will help lower the cost of facial mocap for indie developers? Or just a new expanded horizon for Vtubers. Probably Vtubers.

My only question to meta is will these avatars of the future have legs? 

Its the year 2030 and your Quest 6 has this feature, are you putting your real self in VR chat or a super high detailed creation of something else? Let’s explore in the comments and I’ll catch you in the next quickie.

Another day means more Meta Quest leaks, this time from insider tech business publication the Information. Here’s the 411 on the four new quest headsets Meta is planning to release by 2024

In the reporting A road map for Meta was shown to feature a release for four different VR headsets in the next 2 years. The next one of course being project cambria then following up  are two new versions of the current more affordable and consumer friendly Quest internally named Stinson and Cardiff for 2023 and 2024. Then a second version of the cambria codenamed funston. Everything must be a beach in california bc well technology can only be created there right? Its all about the sand for the wafers.

So basically meta wants to release a high end headset and then a lower cost hmd the following year. Aka the back in the day apple approach to the S phone models.

This wicked fast timeline is to bring Zucks vision of the metaverse (ick) to life and get more people into VR. Which Goldman sachs predicts by 2023 over 19 million VR headsets will be sold. I mean add the upcoming PSVR2 plus the quest sales from this year and that number will more than likely be in sight.

The information reported that according to two people in the know, the cambria is expected to cost around $800 while a meta spokesperson said the price would be much higher.

Project cambria known inside Meta as Arcata, has been alluded to by the employees of Reality Labs as the laptop for the face or a chromebook for the face. Ahh yeas chrome facebook. OH GAH!

Cambria again will run on the android based vr OS which according to the information means it won’t be able to run many common workplace software designed for PCs or Macs, (press F excel master users) but it can run web based tools and services through the VR browser. Office 365 is about to go virtual.

Project Camb was said to be heavier than the quest 2 due to its larger battery but with the built in skull battery design it will be more balanced and comfortable than the quest 2.

Will $800 be the reality? Do we even care now that we definitely know it’s not going to really be for gaming? Hit me up in the comments and I’ll catch you in the next leakie…. I mean quickie.

From the meta leaker goat Brad Lynch and his private source we found out about some possible new oculus meta quest 2 features coming in the future for the meta quest home environment and dashboard.

A quick resume feature like the one found on the xbox series will be added as part of a system that will expand your home environment. This feature will rid the days of only having one app open at a time and having to completely close out and save before entering another VR experience. This will work for both 2D apps like the browser and VR games. 

This quick resume feature will be built upon a 3 windowed system anchored to different places inside your home space. So when you teleport to let’s say the couch of your home environment you’ll have a set of three custom windows waiting for you in the headset memory and are then triggered to resume when you enter the area. So you can have a window for bigscreen, amazon prime and netflix pop up and then seamlessly jump in when you are by your virtual couch. This of course will then suspend all the other apps that will be anchored in the other areas you just left. The keyword here again is suspend and not close out, so please keep me open daddy, I’ve got some bonelabbin to do.

Overall the dashboard and home area will be rebuilt for better optimization and multitasking more than likely preparing for the launch of the work and productivity based project cambria and hopefully the quest 2 will get to take part in some of those upgrades.

Shout out again to brad and his secret source. What three windows would you have waiting for you everytime you logged in to your quest. Let me know down below and I’ll catch you in the next quickie.

Project Cambria or maybe the final name of it the Meta Quest 2 Pro headset gets a few words from Mark Zuckerberg during Meta's Q1 2022 earnings call. Here are those words.

“The last priority I want to discuss today is the metaverse. While we're focusing on the biggest opportunities and challenges of today, I think it's important to build the foundation for the next era of social technology as well.

The centerpiece of our strategy is the social platform that we're starting to build with Horizon. It's still early but as we build out the experience, the next focus will be on growing the community. We plan to launch a web version of Horizon later this year that will make it easy for people to step into metaverse experiences from a lot more platforms, even without needing a headset. I think the best experience will be on virtual and eventually augmented reality platforms -- and especially on our platforms like Quest, where in an upcoming release, from the moment you put on your headset you’re going to be embodied in your Meta avatar and ready to interact in Horizon with your friends right from your Quest home.

But making this available everywhere will mean you can interact with anyone on whatever device or platform that they want to use. Our other focus for Horizon is building out the metaverse economy and helping creators make a living working in the metaverse. We expect to be meaningfully better at monetization than others in this space, and we think that should become a sustainable advantage for our platforms as they develop.

On the hardware side, Meta Quest 2 continues to be the leading virtual reality headset. Later this year, we'll release a higher-end headset, codenamed Project Cambria, which will be more focused on work use cases and eventually replacing your laptop or work setup. This premium device will have improved ergonomics and full color passthrough mixed reality to seamlessly blend virtual reality with the physical world. We're also building in eye tracking and face tracking so that your avatar can make eye contact and facial expressions, which dramatically improves your sense of presence.

It's also a good example of why we're developing hardware in addition to the social platforms. We're bringing Horizon to more platforms, but if you want to be able to make eye contact or have your physical facial expressions just automatically get translated to your avatar in real-time, then our hardware will provide the best metaverse experience -- whether you're playing a game or meeting with co-workers in Horizon Workrooms. We'll share more details about Project Cambria in the months ahead as we get ready to launch it.
