Quest's Largest Update Meta Releases, From Windows 11 Integration To Call Transcription

JAKARTA Towards the end of the year, Meta is still looking for an opportunity to release a software update. This time, the device that will get the update is Quest, Meta's advanced headset.

This software update began to be released on Tuesday, December 10 in version 72. Meta reveals that it is the biggest 'news' they have ever launched for Quest as it includes a new feature that improves device performance.

One of the updates Meta added is the integration of Windows 11 system views in Quest 3 and 3S. Meta partner directly with Microsoft to present this feature so that users can integrate their appearance easily.

"After you make the initial settings, all you need to do is view your Windows 11 PC and you will be asked to pair it. No need to lift your headset or do anything on your own PC," Meta said on its official website.

To access Windows 11 views on Quest 3 and 3S, users must download the Mixed Reality Link application and have a computer device running version Windows 11 22H2. After that, users can follow the ordered stages.

The next feature that Meta adds in version 72 is a more common keyboard tracking system so Quest can detect and track keyboards automatically. Meta also upgrades its hand tracking feature to Hands 2.3.

In this release, hand tracking will be able to improve stability, accuracy, and ease of tracking. Hand exchange becomes more stable and responsive, tweet and drag interactions become more responsive, hand censorship is more stable and responsive, and much more.

Meta also adds a Direct Messenger (DM) feature in Quest so users can easily share feed, Reels, and Stories posts. In addition, there is also a transcription feature in direct calls to help users who experience hearing or deafness.

As usual, Quest updates will be released in stages and certain features will be released early, one of which is keyboard tracking capabilities. If this feature is not yet visible, users may need to wait until the end of the year or early next year.
