Oh boy, so Meta’s up to something interesting again. You know, like when you’re trying to find your socks but stumble upon an old comic book, and suddenly—bam! You’re stuck in 1995 for the next hour. Anyway, where was I? Ah yes, Meta and their Quest thingy.
So, they’ve got this new doodad called Navigator in the Horizon OS (version 77 or something, because numbers matter, right?). It’s all about putting apps, shortcuts, and all that jazz in one spot. Kind of like when you try organizing your kitchen, except with more pixels and less, well, potatoes.
Meta’s claiming Navigator helps you juggle stuff in VR like you’re some sort of multi-armed… juggler? (Yeah, that didn’t come out right.) Whatever, you can pin up to 10 apps for “quick access” like you’re trying to make your life easier or something. I guess the idea is you’re zooming around your virtual world like some VR ninja.
There’s this YouTuber — calls himself ‘The Construct’ (sounds like a sci-fi movie title, doesn’t it?) — who’s been poking around with Navigator. Shows it off in videos and whatnot. Now, Meta’s all like, “Hey, it’s intuitive!” which sounds like what everyone says when they hand you something shiny and new. Like a puppy or a phone with too many features.
Oh, and Instagram photos are getting a makeover too, but not the kind where you dye your hair purple. It’s in 3D. Wild, huh? Seems like someone at Meta decided photos shouldn’t just sit there like flat pieces of paper anymore. Nope, now they’re going all pop-up book on us.
And here’s a little tip for the brave souls who want to dive into this early — there’s something called Public Test Channel. Sounds official, right? If you want in, you’ve got to fiddle with your phone, dig into the Meta Horizon app, toggle this, poke that—reminds me of setting the clock on my microwave. Except with goggles.
Anyway, that’s the gist. Meta’s playing around with virtual stuff again, trying to make it all more… something. Good luck keeping up!
