New Oculus Quest 2 Update 40 Official Release Notes
It’s all about security in the newest quest firmware update, here’s what’s going on with version 40.
You can now lock individual apps and games with an unlock pattern (can’t imagine what you would use that for…) But if you share your headset and need to keep a youngling away from blade and sorcery here’s how:
Go to the settings cog wheel then security, click the switch for locked apps and then create a passcode if you haven’t already to enable that switch. Then go to your apps page click the three dots and choose lock on the app of your choice. and wala your secrets are now hidden like your high school live journal
New secure payments hit the quest headset with 3DS enabled credit cards. What’s 3DS you say? Its a form of secure payment where the acronym stands for 3 domains meaning the payment passes through the card issuer, the retailer and then the 3ds platform which basically a secure go between for you and the retailer.
Side note this will also need to be authorized by each developer for in app purchases. honestly I don’t really know what it is other than your payments will now be extra secure
Messenger is testing end to end encryption inside chat so when you tell your buddy he sucks in blaston its going to be on lock down.
Your quest Audio is also getting some updates for those who are hard of hearing. A new mono option allows the user to hear the same audio from both right and left channels on your headset and in headphones rather than the default spatial audio setting.
In this setting you can balance the audio to what suits you if you are hard of hearing in a certain ear you can use a slider towards that ear to feel more audibly centered.
Apparently You will be able to do this under the accessibility tab in the settings menu but as of this video I did not have the feature yet.
Lastly for the keyboarders out there meta adds support for the apple magic numeric keypad and the Logitech k375s and MX keyboards.
There you have it, what are your thoughts on the big 40 update? Lets hash it out in the comments and I’ll catch you in the next quickie.
