Meta Quest build v65 release notes
These features and enhancements will become available starting the week of April 30, 2024 and will be pushed to Meta Quest 3, Meta Quest Pro and Meta Quest 2 headsets. Please note that you can find the most up to date release notes on our release notes article and you can check out our v65 blog as well for more details. Panoramic photos and spatial video If you have an iPhone on iOS 17 and later, you can now upload panoramic photos or spatial video to your Quest headset using the Meta Quest mobile app. Passthrough improvements You’ll now see your passthrough environment instead of the default gray background for some system menus and prompts when you’re using passthrough in your Horizon Home. Mouse and keyboard improvements When using a physical keyboard or mouse with your headset, you should now see fewer interruptions from hand tracking, including when these devices are connected to your headset via Bluetooth or when using Meta Quest Remote Display. Local multiplayer and boundary recall with Meta Virtual Positioning System Local multiplayer allows multiple VR devices to play in the same physical space in a common immersive environment, while improved boundary detection uses Meta server processing to improve the likelihood of recognizing previously established boundaries, reducing the chance that you will be prompted to re-draw your boundary as you move between physical spaces. This enhanced understanding of your immediate physical space is achieved by sending point cloud data from your device to Meta servers for processing. Learn more about Meta Virtual Positioning System and how to enable it from your privacy settings. Travel mode (Quest 3 and Quest 2 only) With travel mode on Meta Quest 3 and Quest 2 you can interact, work and play in MR while on an airplane and also access in-flight entertainment. Once you enable travel mode from Experimental in Settings, you can turn it on or off anytime from the Quick settings panel. You may also see a message to turn on travel mode if you try to use your headset while on a plane. Learn more about travel mode.
How to send data(0,1,2,3) to an Arduino or Raspberry via Bluetooth or Wifi.
Hello readers!. i am working on a medical project that uses VR for rehabilitation of people with certain kinds of traumas, physical and emotional (cant reveal more info about it). I would like to know if there is a way to pair an Arduino or Raspberry with a Bluetooth module, so when i hit an object or do something in VR, the raspberry or arduino can read a 1,2,3,4 or a couple of chars. My guess is 1) Pair the oculus quest android to the arduino (can this be done?, or is it only for gamepads) 2) Use a wifi server and send messages over HTTP or OSC. 3) connecting directly to USB if possible, a long usb cable wouldn't bother that much. To me, bluetooth would be the best one because it wouldnt require to use an external wifi , router, and extra program. Any ideas? someone tried this already?. Im working with Unity and Oculus SDK, but this is a platform agnostic solution, and there are many people already asking about this. Also, can the arduino be seen as a "gamepad" somehow? so i send and receive input , like cheating the quest.
Bluetooth (Generic BLE signal) to Quest
I'd like to communicate to a Quest from a generic Blueotooth BLE device (such as Arduino, etc.). It was not possible with the Go. I believe the radio could see BLE advertisements but could not connect to generic devices using generic protocols. It can connect to some game controllers, presumably when they use BLE standards for game controllers. https://forums.oculusvr.com/developer/discussion/67316/arduino-to-bluetooth-interface @mconte, Oculus Developer Engineer, commented about Bluetooth in an AMA on May 3, but mentioned game controllers so I'm not sure if his comment was about generic BLE or only a restricted subset of BLE devices like the case with the Go. https://forums.oculusvr.com/developer/post/quote/75196/Comment_675391

Best way to communicate with an ESP32 and Unity app through BLE (or BT serial) on an Oculus Quest?
Hi, Been trying for a long while to get an ESP32 to communicate with a Unity app on an Oculus Quest. Recently got that ESP32 to connect to the Unity app on Quest by using the "Bluetooth LE for Android and iOS" plugin that is on the Unity store, but the app didn't find the BLE service on the ESP32 ("Error during initialize: Service not found for Write") although it was connected to that ESP32. Have tried the same Unity app on an Android phone and thankfully it functions properly on the phone. Main goal with that is to get it functioning on Oculus Quest right now though. Thanks in advance for recommendations on how to make that Unity app communicate with that ESP32 through BLE (or BT serial) on the Quest properly!Bluetooth Activation in Oculus Quest (Unity)
I'm developing software to Oculus Quest. I need to connect a arduino board to my Quest via bluetooth. I tried to use the asset "Arduino Bluetooth Plugin" from Unity Asset Store, but my oculus quest bluetooth seems not be enabled. What is the way to enabled Oculus Quest bluetooth and scan/connect another devices? Thank you!
