The best VR headset for Christmas?

Would Oculus Quest 2 be the best VR headset for Christmas ?

You tell us! Regarding our opinion, it is true that the Oculus Quest 2 makes the difference in the VR headset market .

Indeed, offering ergonomic and technical improvements , this VR headset offers you the most impressive immersion and therefore stands out as the most autonomous virtual reality headset.

Meta (Facebook) offers more immersion

“Meta”, a new version of Facebook, offers you even more immersion thanks to virtual reality .

Meta hits hard, very hard with its new features and updates allowing you to fully immerse yourself in a virtual world , whether it is to make calls, to work, to exchange, to discover new places or even to play with your friends, and this without being there physically!

The v35 update that changes everything

Making virtual scenery a reality, here's what the v35 update will change!

Indeed, the v35 update brings you many new features including Messenger exchanges in virtual reality , multi -account but also the mixed reality of your experiences in VR via a mixed reality camera deployed from the application.

This will allow your games through your headsets as well as the content on your device to be merged.

Note that a new function is coming: The live Overlay , which will make you exist in a decor and an atmosphere, it, virtual.

The importance of your smartphone therefore makes sense because this privilege will only be given to holders of iPhone XS or higher with iOS 11 minimum.

Capturing mixed reality on smartphone

The v35 update will also enable mixed reality capture via your smartphone, without any green screen.

Indeed, before you had to have a green background for integration into a VR place in the middle of a game session, but Oculus now makes sure that you can do it without.

Real progress, you can go into the staging of your favorite game by just putting your smartphone in one place or by having yourself filmed .

As you have understood, this v35 update will allow you to watch, share and save videos of your VR game games .

Note that this option is possible on the Oculus application.

Voice calls in VR in Messenger

Messenger from "Meta" now offers you to make your voice calls in VR !

Messenger has never been so detached from Facebook with this new feature that lets you make your calls in VR through your Oculus.

Surprising but true to see what it is possible to do with Messenger: make calls and answer calls (audio or video) via your headset , even in the middle of a game!

It is enough that your correspondent also has a VR headset for you to meet him in a virtual environment, and this in VR.

In your Horizon Workrooms virtual workspace, you will have the opportunity to see 2D panels arrive that will keep you in a world of virtuality but using applications used in the real world .
