CEO of Meta Mark Zuckerberg and Meta’s Chief Technology Officer Andrew Bosworth competed in a virtual typing competition in a recent video Mark Zuckerberg posted on his Instagram. While Zuckerberg clocked in at about 100 words per minute, Bosworth impressively typed almost 120 words per minute.
Although the film was humorous, it provides a sneak preview of Meta’s next mixed reality (MR) vision. The fact that Meta, formerly Facebook, has made major advancements in the XR (extended reality) sector may be a reflection of its commitment to providing immersive solutions with a productivity focus.
Spatial computing is already a hot topic in the XR market, thanks in large part to Apple’s marketing initiatives. In the future of spatial computing, headsets will take the place of conventional laptop screens, enabling users to interact with software via hand-tracking in a 360-degree environment with augmented reality (AR) content. However, Zuckerberg’s most recent video raises the possibility that Meta is also thinking about developing a spatial environment focused on productivity to rival Apple’s Vision Pro.
At Connect, a two-day XR showcase event in September, Meta will talk about its cutting-edge technologies, such as the Quest portfolio, Ray-Ban Stories, Avatars, and Horizon Worlds.
The Meta Quest 3 has a Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2+ chipset for improved graphics performance, compatibility with classic games, hand-tracking capabilities, 128GB of storage, 2 hours of battery life, support for prescription glasses, and a 100-degree field of view, according to the leaked video unboxing.
In conclusion, Meta’s most recent film and the upcoming Connect event offer fascinating insights into the company’s dedication to immersive technology and its search for MR solutions that are both gaming- and productivity-focused.
