Where are all the features?
UK account, No AI features, I guess because of government?
Where's the Augments?
Where's the Codec Avatars?
For 3 years this headset's been out, and there's been NO "killer app"... It seems like such a shame, such a waste of an underutilised piece of hardware.
The Hyperscape has potential, like if we can all hang out in large photorealistic spaces... but even that is very limited in functionality.
Why can't the headset track my bottle of beer and keep it in passthrough whilst I am immersed?
Rant over
Features for what? Your bottle of beer 🤔😁?
Where's the Augments?
Originally announced for 2024, the feature was delayed because Meta determined the initial technical approach "wasn't good enough". CTO Andrew Bosworth confirmed in mid-2024 that the team went "back to the drawing board" to rebuild the architecture from scratch to ensure better performance. Speculation for release is in 2026 or 2027. My guess is it will be for the next-generation headset.
Where's the Codec Avatars?
Meta employees are testing early versions of Codec Avatars on live servers. These improved, photorealistic avatars are expected to debut on Meta's next high-end headset, rumored to be named Phoenix or Puffin, according to reports in December 2025.

I'm hoping we will get to visit user-created hyperscapes of interesting places from all around the world, sort of like Google street view or Scaniverse. I scanned my 🚽, now the whole world will be able to visit it in photorealistic virtual reality 😁.

Absolute.Pure.Genius. 😮🍺 I've submitted your idea to the Developer Feedback Center 😃.
