Now, with v65, Passthrough is receiving a quality-of-life improvement. Some menus in Passthrough, like the power off menu and the lockscreen, used to display over a gray void. These menus and panels will now show in Mixed Reality.

Spatial videos, introduced in v62, are also receiving an update. This feature allows users to upload spatial videos from their iPhones to their Quest headset using the Meta Quest mobile app. This was previously limited to only theor higher to your headset as well. This will also be done with the Meta Quest mobile app. Panoramas are quite suited to VR because of their wide field of view, so I’m not surprised to see this work. But I am glad it got added.

Another quality-of-life update in v65 will now reduce interruptions from hand tracking when using an external keyboard or mouse. What this means is that there will be fewer instances of the headset trying to track your hands when you’re actually just using a keyboard or mouse. The update will start rolling out today. But like all Meta Quest updates it will be a gradual process. If you’ve got Automatic Updates enabled your headset will update itself when not being used.Abdullah is an ardent believer in the future of VR, and can't wait to see what more it brings to the table as technology improves.
