Meta is launching an app for its Quest 3 headset that lets you take measurements and visualize changes in your home. The Utilities app, called Designwill appear in the Quest 3 library as part of The v68 update.
Meta says you can use Layout to measure furniture in your home, which will let you get an idea of how much space you have for a new couch or TV without having to get out the tape measure. You can also use the app to place virtual objects in a real-world environment, as well as test out the leveling tool to make sure that picture you just hung isn’t crooked.
Along with the Layout app, the v68 update includes Meta ai-on-meta-quest-3/”>Experimental ai Assistant This is already present in the company's Ray-Ban smart glasses. As seen in Meta Demo VideoYou can ask the ai questions about what you see in your real-world environment, such as what type of shirt will look good with your new pair of pants. This feature is currently only available in English and only in the US and Canada.
Another interesting improvement coming with the update is the ability to download multiple games at once and manage them from a new “Downloads” tab in your library. Meta is also adding the ability to pair Touch controllers from within the headset (rather than from the newly renamed Meta Horizon app), along with new audio level balancing tools.
