Meta Quest build v54 release notes

These features and enhancements will become available starting the week of May 18, 2023 and will be rolling out to Meta Quest Pro and Meta Quest 2 headsets. 

 

Custom Skybox View 

Enhance or personalize the Skybox View that surrounds your Home environment in VR by selecting one of the preinstalled options or uploading your own image. You can manage your Skybox View from the Personalization tab in Settings. Check out our Custom Skybox View blog for more details.

Note: Custom Skybox View is not available in groups and may not work in all environments. 

 

Follow request improvements

We’re making it easier to manage your follow requests to connect with other users. Follow requests will now be grouped together at the top of your notifications. Selecting this notification will take you to the People tab where you can view and respond to all your follow requests.

 

Guardian improvements

We are improving your headset's ability to remember more boundaries, so you can spend less time redrawing them.

  • This will be rolling out gradually.

 

App Library improvements 

We’ve updated the look and feel of your App Library.  Filter and sort are now integrated into search for a more robust search experience.

 

Avatar mirror rollout

The avatar mirror in your Horizon Home is now available in more environments, allowing you to easily view and personalize your avatar. 

 

Improved Quest Touch Pro controller tracking

We have improved the tracking performance for Quest Touch Pro controllers, more reliably positioning controllers in VR based on their position in real life.

 

Light theme 

We moved Light theme from Experimental Features to System Settings. Light theme allows you to select a lighter color scheme for menus and notifications in VR. To change your display theme, select Personalization from Settings, then select Display Theme. 

 

Physical Space setting

We’ve combined the Boundary, Passthrough and Objects & Furniture settings into the Physical Space setting. 

 

Customize more notifications in VR

You can now turn on notifications in VR for more apps from the Notifications menu in Settings.

  •           This will be rolling out gradually.

    Hi community manager, Ryanality.
    Hey just curious why patch notes of features and enhancements are not out yet for the V55. This is funny because Oculus V55 is in its second stage of being rolled out to everyone. With all the bugs in V54 not looked into or touched any of the problems reported...... There seems to be memory leaks in this V55 version that is disrupting game play in my headset, and forcing application close and push back to Oculus home. Curious when patch notes will be pushes and when everyone not in the test channel will receive those patch notes.....

    Either employ better programmers who know how to test changes or stop updating the headsets.  Every update makes the headsets worse!

    My pro headset updated to 54 when I first started it up , and the controllers immediately stopped working. The headset can see their orientation but their position in space, exactly the thing you're saying was improved, does not track at all. For the amount of money I put on the table for this equipment it needs to work, and I don't mean in a month. Support, in replying to my queries, said 'We don't have a date for any future updates; however, we would like to provide you with a link so that you may check for those updates yourself. Please click here to be redirected to our Meta Quest release notes page. Let us know if there is anything further that we may assist you with as we are always happy to help!' Is that really what you want to be saying? 'Here's a link to find out when we decided it was convenient for us to fix your broken-out-of-the-box device? Happy to help?' Your customers are not your testers, and this 'good luck with your problem' tone is infuriating.

      I've recently updated to V54 and I have to say things are worse, Guardian goes wonky, headset keeps telling me I don't have enough light, strange I did before the update, and I also now have Virtual Desktop lag issues again never and issue before and I've gone from a Gen 8 i7 to a gen 11 i7 all other specs the same. All worked perfect before V54 Now I can't play PCVR games with out glitches and head spins from the glitches. Not happy Jan!

      Also my TouchPro controller tracking seems to be glitchy as well, something I've noticed other people saying!

          Well surprise surprise! The pin to Universal Menu is back. Thank you Meta, I find this to be a very useful feature.

          I can only pin up to two apps whereas in the earlier iteration I could pin up to four. The only Quest app that can be unpinned is Camera. I would have liked being able to unpin the People app as I never use it. But it is good having the feature again.

          Skybox customization works but is universal - you can't apply customizations individually. Moon VR Home allows you to customize individual environments but only a select few and you have to "build" and install the custom environment.
