The Biggest Thing We Didn't See at Connect: Partner Headsets (www.roadtovr.com)

Meta Connect again saw its usual torrent of announcements this year, this time including the official unveiling of Quest 3S, as well as its new prototype AR glasses, Orion. Notably missing however was company’s three partner headsets from Asus, Lenovo and Xbox. Where are they?

Back in April, Meta revealed plans to open its Android-based XR operating system Horizon OS to third-party manufacturers for the first time, signaling a monumental shift in the company’s role as the sole headset creator for its XR platform.

At the time, Meta said not only would the company continue to create Quest devices, but the move would be a first big step in becoming the “open model” as an ostensible foil to Vision Pro, vis-à-vis Apple’s patently closed device ecosystem.

@virtualreality@lemmy.world might be a little early to expect hearing about them... aside from the Xbox one that I thought was just branding for your standard Quest but that one would probably do better if unveiled at an Xbox event.
