A new week a new leak for the quest 2 pro. This time we get a view from inside the headset and its color pass through and mixed reality capabilities. Virtual office creator immersed shared the video showing off, what to me definitely looks like a quest pro creating a virtual conference room from a smaller table in someone’s home complete with other avatars joining the conference.  Immersed also give us a glimpse out of a virtual office set up with multiple digital windows for productivity using color passthrough and implementing an actual keyboard just like we’ve seen on the quest 2 infinite office feature. Oh and a familiar video thumbnail down there in a discord window. Maybe they used my video to this in obs!? 

Slowing down the video and looking at this frame we do see something we haven’t before in the form of a thick sided facial cover pad to prevent light leakage into the headset. My guess is that we will see this come as an add on accessory and from third party dealers. As with any of this it all could be clever editing but to me its looking a lot like the quest pro which we will finally get the full details of next week so get subscribed and stay tuned for coverage of Meta connect 2022. Are any of you interested in pre-ordering or buying a quest 2 pro? Let me know in the comments below and as always thanks for watching I’ll catch you in the next quickie

Somebody left behind the upcoming Meta Quest Pro codenamed Project Cambria at a hotel so now we have an unboxing ahead of it's reveal at Meta Connect 2022

Meta Connect 2022 has officially been announced for October 11th. Looking back at Facebook Connect 2021 here's a preview of what we expect to see at this year's Meta Connect including release dates for games like Bonelab, Among Us VR, Ghostbusters VR and more.

Meta announced the date for their next connect presentation this week and Looking back to lat year’s connect we can see a possible game plan for this year’s meta connect on October 11th.

First and foremost we will get a complete overview of project cambria or what is rumored to be named the meta quest pro. Zuck daddy announced on the Joe Rogan podcast that it will be unveiled at this years connect, and he just posted this obstructed image of him wearing the headset telling us to see him at connect 2022. You know what, maybe I will. I’m sure a large chunk of the presentation will be sharing the specs and new abilities of the meta quest pro along with new games and experiences that take advantage of those features. I expect we will get a pre-order announcement with a price, and with the recent price hike of the quest 2, that pro headset surely will be expensive.

We hopefully will get actual release dates on some of the most anticipated VR games of the year that were announced at the meta gaming showcase, like the walking dead saints and sinners chapter 2 retribution, among us vr which last month we got access to the beta version, sorry they nda’d the testers and the devs have said it is pretty much finished, then we also have NFL pro era which I would think should be out any day now since the season is upon us and for the love of all crablets I hope we get another trailer and a solid release date for bonelab. Bonelab’s creator Brandon Laatsch has been more active on twitter lately discussing some rather interesting pieces of the game and back in july tweeted that the game is finished but they are working on bugs. So I’m laying my bet down here and fully expecting a release date at connect. Oh by the way remember that GTA San Andreas VR  announcement from last years connect? Where the Zuck is that? And lastly Ghostbusters VR was the grand finale at the gaming showcase in april and Halloween is just a couple weeks post the connect event so that would just make sense for us to get a date for the co-op mystery ghost sucker upper..

Last year’s connect was all about the metaverse so I’m sure there will be even more virtual environments and graphics that make us slightly uncomfortable. This years connect will focus on the building of the metaverse and the future of augmented and virtual reality. We will hear from industry leaders on the latest technologies and how to use them to grow said metaverse. 

We should see more about those avatar and horizon graphical updates which Mark teased on his instagram after the meme-pocalypse of the horizon france and spain announcement. I also bet we may learn more about meta’s recently announced partnership with qualcomm and what they are working towards when it comes to future snapdragon chipsets and hardware. I’ll throw this hailmary out there. Maybe we get just a tiny teaser for a quest 3 like the project cambria announcement last year? You know, we can always dream.

Other than the metaverse and VR games we probably will hear about more privacy and security features that no one will believe, and just maybe they will give us an update on that crazy future concept headset mirror lake.   

What do you think we’ll see at meta’s connect 2022? Shoot your shot in the comments below and we will see which we get right and which we get wrong come october. Thanks for watching and as always I’ll catch you in the next quickie.

Meta's CTO Andrew Bosworth ran another AMA to answer some more of our project cambria questions, thoughts on VR field of view, working what its like working with Zuckerberg and more.

With the newest quest update version 40 an experimental feature landed on our headsets to prepare us for the upcoming mixed reality presence platform. Here is how to find it and set it up.

Inside your headset go to the quick settings menu on the left side of your home nav bar. Then hit the cog wheel for the settings menu and over to guardian. Under general scroll down to room setup dash experimental.

This will take you to a passthrough view, with a pop up box to setup your room in VR.. Hit continue to begin digitally marking your walls by first finding a bottom corner of a wall in your room and pulling the trigger to drop the first marker. I would suggest unlike me start with a wall that isn’t obstructed, then go ahead and pin the top of that corner to set the wall height. Next just mark the top corners of each of the surrounding walls until you connect back with your first corner and hit confirm.

If you’d like you can now outline your desk by marking the floor underneath the left side of your desk first, then the top left corner surface of your desk and then over to the right corner to set the width and then mark the back right corner to mark the depth. 

Feel free to also set up windows and doors by finding the top left corner then dragging to the bottom right corner of those areas.

Drop in a couch or in my case I used my office chair with the same directions as the desk and there you have it, your room is now set up for mixed reality.

Unfortunately the frustrating thing is as of recording this video there is no way to use the room you just set up.. A window pops up asking you to download the Mixed reality app zuck talked about in the project cambria highlight called the world beyond. But I can’t find it in the store, on mobile, desktop or in headset yet. I guess that is why this feature is still under experimental. Hopefully we will get to play with sweet little oppy soon. 

What do you hope to see make use of this room setup feature and the upcoming presence platform. Let me know in the comments and I’ll catch you in the next quickie
