Quest v71 Brings Design Refresh, AI Audio To Expression, Smoother Passthrough, And More
- Quest v71 is a massive update, bringing design refresh and new features to Meta's Horizon OS; it features Audio to Expression, an on-device AI model that provides estimated facial expressions without physical tracking hardware.
- This update also brings smoother passthrough, Training mode support for trains, Dolby Atmos and Dolby Digital Surround, a first-party calendar app, improvements to scene mesh scanning, a volume mixer for app and call audio, and an app permissions indicator on the menu bar.
- The most significant change is the Settings interface, which has been completely revamped with a side tab design, resembling iPadOS and regular Android on tablets; Meta also stated that search within Settings has been improved.
- Meta has also improved camera frame rates to align with display frame rates, making passthrough look smoother; v71 adds support for both Dolby Atmos and Dolby Digital 5.1/7.1 surround audio, with the headset's rotation panning the soundscape.
- With v71, you can access your PC as a virtual screen in Horizon OS using Meta's first-party software via a shortcut in Quick Settings, rather than searching through your app library for it.
- Meta says you'll be able to update the mesh for a room from Settings, building on and refining the original mesh instead of rescanning it from scratch; you'll also see a miniature 3D representation of each room saved.
- You can adjust the volume of Calls separately from the volume of App & Media audio from Quick Settings to avoid lowering the audio volume of each game to hear other people in your Horizon Party, WhatsApp/Messenger call, or other communications platform.
- With v71, you'll be able to send videos to your Horizon followers in Horizon chats; this supports both flat videos and Apple spatial videos, allowing you to send spatial videos you captured with your iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 16 series phone.
- Meta says you can now pair Touch controllers and Logitech MX Ink styluses inside the headset, just like you already can with gamepads.
- Meta added real-time permissions indicator to the universal menu bar of Horizon OS, letting you know which features are currently being accessed by apps.
