Meta Quest v66 Update: Reduced Passthrough Distortion, Background Audio Support, and More

With v66, we’re reducing the amount of visual distortion in Passthrough on Meta Quest 3. We’ve put out a number of Passthrough-related improvements in the last few software updates, but this is the big one, and it will significantly improve the Mixed Reality experience. Check out the blog for all the details: https://www.meta.com/blog/quest/meta-quest-v66-software-update-reduced-passthrough-distortion-background-audio

Excited to hear about the reduction in distortion.

When should we expect v66 to roll out?

hi J40NYR â€” it's a gradual rollout, so if you haven't gotten v66 yet, you should see the update come through soon

May I ask why I can't see the full version of v66 news? I remember that I could see it here before, and the blog only has a simple introduction and does not have complete news. Can you provide a link to the complete news?

lisajaloza A gradual rollout is fine, and to be expected, but we don't yet see where v66 is actually starting to roll out.

Please can someone explain what the hell is going on with UK releases of the PTC..? I'm on v66 and these are the following so called improvements that i've NOT gotten yet..?

1. Furniture mapping. (v65 release)

2. Multi modal. (v64 release)

3. Hide unused Apps. (v66 release)

4. Sleep timer (v66 release)

5. Improve passthrough (v66 release)

6. Voice control (v52 release)

I haven't gotten any of these on both my Q3 & QPro ? and yes i've tried both opting out of the PTC & a full reset and nothing..?

hi Moriarti4 

I believe we did receive the improved passthrough from v64 (I think it was)

I haven't updated to v66 yet although the PTC release can be fairly watered down compared to the future public release.

Multi modal is an issue on Quest as well as the Meta glasses, I do believe this is a little more complicated regards to the regulations of each country so I'm giving Meta the benefit of the doubt here.

Hopefully we get a bumper rollout sometime soon ðŸ˜‚

Meta Quest release notes 

But you are right.....it should be said in the announcement post.

There is no "announcement post" at all... this is a "news link" only.
And... there are no (international) release-notes:

What's up with you, Meta?

Yep, passthrough is now what we always wanted.

I still think back to VR 10 years ago - how far we've come!!

Big PC, all the headsets, now using Quest 3
