Meta is studying new login options for Quest devices, arriving next year. Considering that Quest supports multitasking for 2D apps, this is great to use the Quest as a tool to work: you could have Slack in one Window, and Google Doc in another, and work on a document together with your team.

Is the Vive Pro at the end of its life?

It is also cool that there is the way inside Unity to simulate the headset (you can emulate the head rotation, the controllers moving and clicking, etc…), and so you can make some tests about your app without building it. Simulation view of the VR application inside Unity. That’s great, and really kudos to Pico for this.

This has been possible thanks to the kind support of Mister President and the whole HTC, that introduced me to these companies and let me visit them to discover a lot of things about the Chinese VR ecosystem. Studies say that memorizing with memory palaces is 25% more effective than memorizing without them.

And that’s when Carolina Biological, the largest provider of animal specimens for dissection, contacted us because they had been looking for a digital product that could simulate what happens in real life.
