New Oculus Quest 2 Update & New Meta Project Cambria Details

The Public Test version of the Quest Update 39 hit yesterday and thanks to our friend Lubos V we got a look at some of the new features which include the ability to adjust space sense so you could have it kick in at 1 meter 2 or 3 or for us non metric fools about 4, 7 and 10 feet. You can now also sign out from messenger which I guess I never really noticed you couldn’t before which inherently just feels very on brand for meta book. With those lackluster feature updates a new set of fun bugs also arrived. And of course I preface this with the fact that this is a beta release and test so the bugs are understandable but its always good to know what bugs exist just in case you encounter them in the actual release version like uh you know the fiasco that was version 38. 

Okay so here we go, infinite office looks to be there but it constantly crashes, 2D Apps are crashing, and the one I’m worried about the most there is a controller firmware update which has led to some tracking issues and placing you in a menuless black void.  Another bug submitted by a user showed they no longer had the ability to choose a 120hz refresh rate and they are locked to 72. Lets hope that isn’t going to be the case for future. Lastly and well weirdly for the update the power off dialog box has a different design and Lubos says when turning off the headset it glows the oculus logo. Maybe thats meta trolling, start up your headset and say hi to meta but turn it off to say so long to your old friend oculus. I’m sure its just an oversight. 

Now inside the code of this new update VR genius, youtuber and data miner Brad Lynch found new updated lines of code to the codenamed projects for Metas future headsets. From the code he predicts there may be 3 different headsets in the works for meta. A Micro OLED Cambria code named seabrght which until this update had been dormant as far as code updates go, then a MiniLED cambria (sea cliff) which is more than likely already in the hands of devs and will be announced probably before the end of 2022 and then the Quest 3, which still not much is known. Bradley believes cambria will have a pro and standard model much like the Iphone Pro and iPhone pro max. We shall see what the zuck reveals in the coming months.

Nonetheless shout out to SadlyItsbradley for his skill and Lubos for the access. A link to  their channels are in the description. Let’s hope the bugs get fixed and version 39 goes over better than 38.
