Meta’s “Quest” and “Quest Pro”<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Satya Nadella said Microsoft’s Teams video calling app would integrate with Meta’s “Quest” and newly launched “Quest Pro” VR headsets to allow people to gather in a virtual boardroom during the company’s Connect 2022 keynote on Oct. 11.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nadella added future functionality would include streaming a Windows Cloud computer to Meta’s headsets. This will enable familiar Microsoft productivity applications such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and SharePoint.<\/span><\/p>\n

Meta’s Quest and Quest Pro headsets will be compatible with Microsoft’s enterprise-level mobile device and identity management applications, Nadella said, enabling companies to manage and secure VR headsets as they would computers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Additionally, the Quest Pro boasts “more intuitive” controller feedback and “real-time expression tracking,” which mimics the real-life behavior of the virtual avatar.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nadella, referring to COVID-19 restrictions implemented because of the pandemic, said the pandemic has resulted in a “once-in-a-lifetime” opportunity.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We are bringing Microsoft Teams’ immersive meeting experience to Meta Quest to give users new ways to connect. Nadella said: “Now people can connect, share, and collaborate as if they were face-to-face.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg added that as the amount of in-person work increases, everyone should feel as though they are present when they work.<\/span><\/p>\n

Meta’s VR meeting space, Horizon Workrooms, will also be compatible with Microsoft Teams. “A virtual office of the future will be based on this cross-device experience,” said Zuckerberg.<\/span><\/p>\n

The company has shifted heavily in recent years toward creating an “open, interoperable” <\/span>metaverse <\/b><\/a>since renaming itself Meta last year.<\/span><\/p>\n

So far, in 2022, Reality Labs has invested $5.7 billion in hardware and virtual world development, a cost of billions of dollars for the company.<\/span><\/p>\n

Even though Zuckerberg acknowledged that the losses might persist for some time, he maintained that the company has a “massive opportunity” in its July Q2 earnings call.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
