Hệ điều hành Meta Horizon sẽ chạy trên tai nghe của ASUS và Lenovo

Ngày:

Meta is rebranding its Quest software platform to Meta Horizon OS, and opening it up to third-party headset makers.

Headsets running the platform will feature a “Built with Meta Horizon OS” sticker on the box. They’ll have access to the same core software and platform services as Meta Quest headsets, including Meta’s tracking and mixed reality technology and app store. As with Quest headsets, using them will require a Meta account.

The Meta Quest Store will also be rebranded to Meta Horizon Store. Quest will remain only as the hardware brand for Meta’s first-party headsets, and Meta will continue to put out new Quest headsets.

Two third-party companies have already publicly announced they are building entirely new headsets running Meta Horizon OS:

  • A “performance gaming headset” from ASUS under its Republic of Gamers (ROG) brand.
  • A line of headsets for “productivity, learning, and entertainment” from Lenovo.

Trong tháng Hai Meta and LG announced an XR strategic collaboration including “next-gen XR device development”, suggesting LG could also be making a headset running Meta Horizon OS.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg says he can “imagine” third-party Meta Horizon OS headsets optimized around specific use cases, such as:

  • “Một chiếc tai nghe nhẹ kết hợp với máy tính trên bàn của bạn để mang lại trải nghiệm làm việc tốt nhất.”
  • Một chiếc tai nghe “tập trung hoàn toàn vào khả năng giải trí đắm chìm như xem phim và video với màn hình OLED có độ phân giải cao nhất”.
  • Một chiếc tai nghe “được tối ưu hóa hoàn toàn để chơi game với sự hỗ trợ cho tất cả các loại thiết bị ngoại vi và xúc giác khác nhau”.
  • Tai nghe “được thiết kế để tập thể dục siêu nhẹ với chất liệu thấm mồ hôi”.

It’s unclear whether any of these refer to the ASUS or Lenovo headsets, or just future potential avenues companies could take.

Additionally, Meta is working with Microsoft’s Xbox division to create a “limited-edition Meta Quest” headset with Xbox branding. The concept image of this headset suggests it will be a special version of Quest 3, and Zuckerberg says it will include an Xbox gamepad in the box.

Today’s news comes just under two months after it was revealed that Google tried to convince Meta to abandon the Quest platform (now Horizon OS) and switch to its upcoming Android XR platform, expected to be announced at Google I / O trong ba tuần.

Google reportedly asked Meta to partner and “contribute to” its upcoming XR operating system, but Meta said no.

Samsung is the first announced hardware maker adopting Android XR, and Google is báo cáo trying to court other companies too. Meta’s new strategy and securing multiple major companies already could be a major blow to Google’s ambitions in the space, especially given Lenovo was Google’s original partner for its previous VR platform Daydream back in 2018.

Meta has repeatedly said it wants Google to bring its Play Store of 2D Android apps to Quest (now Horizon OS), promising it can continue to take its existing cut of 2D app sales revenue. Google seems set on owning a full XR platform though, not just the 2D app section of Meta’s.

In coming years Meta and Google will likely fiercely compete to convince third-party hardware makers to adopt their respective XR platforms. The history of technology suggests there’s only room for one open platform alongside Apple’s closed offering. Will this be true for XR too? And if so will it be Meta, or Google?
