Meta Quest’s v50 system upgrade has debuted, and it’s bringing various enhancements, both with the devices’ peripherals and the basic UI. To begin, Meta claims that the Touch Pro controllers will require less time to start up and engage tracking when the user puts on the headset. Formerly, there was a brief delay while the controls and headset synced. While the Touch Pro controllers debuted with the Meta Quest Pro, they’re also compatible with the Meta Quest 2, however Meta made no mention of the Quest 2 enhancement.
Next, the touch controls in Meta Quest 2 have been improved. Before, users could use touch controls on the device’s basic interface, but these were unintuitive and often impossible to use. Everything that requires special hand gestures, such as pinching the index finger and thumb together, must be activated. The touch controls in this version are now meant to be more intuitive and akin to using a real digital device. Users may scroll with their fingers by tapping on the “screen” in front of them.
