Any news on when voice commands and Meta AI will be available to English speakers outside of the US?
Is there any news on when features like Quest voice commands and Meta AI for Meta Ray Ban glasses will be available in English speaking countries other than the US, e.g. UK? Is this a technical problem (detecting different accents) or a legal one (navigating privacy concerns in other countries)? I so want to buy some Meta Ray Ban glasses but there's little point in doing so while their functionality is crippled outside of the US. Since Quest voice commands have been denied to us for so long, I don't see much point in buying the glasses just in the hope that they'll eventually be unlocked. Let's just say I'm not holding my breath... please prove me wrong đ đ1.7KViews1like1CommentQuest build v34 release notes
These features and enhancements will become available starting the week of November 1st, 2021. Guardian With this release weâre introducing Space Sense to Guardian.

Learn more about Guardian and Space Sense. Please note this feature is only available on Quest 2 headsets. Space Sense is not available for Stationary Guardian. In addition to Space Sense, weâre currently testing additional guardian features as part of this release. Keep in mind that these features are still in development and wonât be seen by all users. Weâve improved notifications when you enter a low-light situation and are at risk of losing tracking. Horizon Home Weâre introducing a new personal workspace environment in Horizon Home today, so you can trade out that snowy mountain lodge for something a bit more professional if youâre sitting down to get some work done. 2D Apps for Multitasking Weâre introducing 2D apps to the Oculus Store. The first apps available in the Store are Facebook, Instagram, Smartsheet, and Spike. More apps will follow soon.

I understand that the âare you sure you want to power the device offâ confirmation after you say âpower the device offâ is likely for little kids that press buttons or people that just donât understand how VC works entirely; but for the rest of us, can we please have an option to TURN IT OFF!! lol đ like seriously. If I say I want to power off, I want to power off. Not make toast. Not change songs. Not pick a different game. Turn. Off. Period. Anyone?!?744Views0likes1Comment
