Oculus Quest 2 New Feature: Horizon Home Coming Next Week

After the leaks from last week Zuck confirmed on his facebook page today that horizon homes is launching with the next quest update version 41 sometime next week.

Horizon home in Marks words will bring social presence into your virtual home as soon as you put on your headset. Invite friends to hang out, watch videos together, or jump into apps right from your virtual home. He also stated that more options to customize your home space are currently in development. 

Zuck showed off the new quest feature with free climber Alex Honnold whose film free solo showcased his death defying climbs without any harness or safety back up. They watched part of his 360 film the soloist VR together using the new horizon home share feature to give us an idea how it would look to bring our friends into an experience together virtually.

I’m interested in how this is going to work “as soon as you put on your headset” but I will say I am all for new features and updates to the quest as long as we can still use everything else properly.

Do you plan on using this feature? Let me know down below and of course I’ll catch you in the next quickie.
