Meta Unveils Open Mixed Reality Ecosystem
Meta is revolutionizing the mixed reality landscape by opening its Meta Quest operating system to third-party hardware manufacturers. This initiative aims to expand the ecosystem, enabling developers to build a wider variety of mixed reality applications. By collaborating with leading tech companies, Meta seeks to bring mixed reality technology to a broader audience, fostering innovation and consumer choice.
The core of this ecosystem is Meta Horizon OS, a platform developed over a decade, integrating advanced technologies such as inside-out tracking, hand and body tracking, and spatial anchors. These innovations power immersive experiences, making it easier for developers to create and monetize mixed reality content.
Global technology leaders like ASUS, Lenovo, and Xbox are joining forces with Meta to create new devices powered by Meta Horizon OS. These collaborations will bring cutting-edge mixed reality hardware to market, catering to gaming, productivity, and entertainment needs.
To further support developers, Meta is enhancing its app ecosystem by integrating the Meta Horizon Store with App Lab, providing more opportunities for app discovery and distribution. This move ensures that both consumers and developers benefit from a diverse and open mixed reality environment.
