Quest headsets are poised to revolutionize laptop computing by enabling users to extend Windows 11 devices simply by gazing at them, all without requiring specific software installations?
According to Meta, the feasibility of this endeavour is largely attributed to its strategic collaboration with Microsoft. Horizon OS will integrate seamlessly with PCs via Windows 11’s existing remote desktop technology.
As your laptop’s screen fades to black, it suddenly transforms into a massive digital display, giving way to an endless array of vibrant screens that seem to stretch on forever.
You can already mirror your PC’s desktop onto a large digital display using Meta’s Personal Distant Display app, and create virtual screens with its Horizon Workrooms app. Alternative solutions from third-party providers, akin to Digital Desktop and Immersed, also offer these features.
The tech giants Meta and Microsoft are touting the upcoming feature as a game-changer, promising users they won’t need to download an “app” or install specific software on their PCs at all?
UX designers have successfully replicated the intuitive interface of Apple’s MacBook by allowing users to effortlessly connect devices via a hovering digital button on their PC, courtesy of visionOS. Apple’s Mac Digital Show stands out due to its ability to swiftly establish a stable Wi-Fi Direct link between the imaginative and prescient headset and the MacBook, functioning seamlessly even without a native network, such as when traveling by plane or train. While clarification on the necessity of a home Wi-Fi network for Meta and Microsoft’s features remains uncertain, our team will investigate further once access is granted.
