Holy shit.  I'm assuming robotics will also be part of the Reality Labs division.  They are weaving these things altogether: AI, XR and Robotics.  Embodied virtual AI would be the backbone for these robots, and we know that embodied AI will soon be showing up in Horizon Worlds.

Honestly doesn't surprise me.  I think Meta's focusing more on “affordable” so they can build up on a healthy install base and ecosystem.  Once they reach “critical mass”, I think they'll reintroduce the “Pro” back again.  For now, we have Quest Normie and Quest Lite.

What I appreciate about @Meta releasing their Llama 3.1 today is that they did not forget about Quest (well, Quest 3 at least)!  Quest 3 will get AI like the ones in current Meta Ray Bans.

Meta plans to roll out its AI assistant to the Quest in August, limited to US and Canada users in experimental mode, after debuting on the Ray-Ban smart glasses

Great AMA from @boztank today.  Seems like a 1-2 punch with @zuck giving his opinion yesterday and then Boz today.  And I like that insight that premium materials should be felt, which the iPhone has apparently.  But if it's on your face, the premium material should be the weight!

Damn, @meta killed it this quarter with regards to revenue, MAUs and DAUs.  Investors may still get grumbly about Reality Labs reducing revenue, but RL is the long-game, and they have a warchest for it (also @zuck is a huge VR nerd).

Yesterday at NYCC, I walked from one wing of the Javits Center to the other wing with my Quest 3 on passthrough mode.  The warping happens when things are close to the headset.  It wasn't that bad in terms of feeling disoriented.  But what made things bad was when the HMD couldn't find an anchor for tracking. …

Meta Quest 3's better passthrough video means people are again walking in public with face-mounted, video-recording devices, a throwback to Google “glassholes”

Ok... Now I don't feel bad walking around with the headset during comic con. https://www.threads.net/...

Had the same fear, but was surprised how I managed to stay upright despite the warpy visuals and the jittering that happens.  I wonder if Meta will have the balls to have a toggle switch for pure passthrough without the anchoring for tracking.  Have the toggle in the Developer Mode or something.

Thinking of what could be sacrificed to get to the $200 price point for Quest 3 Lite.  Fresnel lenses perhaps?  Goddamn, tho, on that price point.
