Quest software update v30 is coming soon with some new features that will change the possibilities of playing in VR.

It should be noted that the new features of Oculus updates are not all deployed when the new version is announced. And even when it comes out, the new options roll out in waves. So all the contributions of the V29 not all are available to everyone.

Improved file management finally deployed (delay of V29)

The last option deployed in the Quest is the gimproved file management

Thus, from the applications menu, you can access the files located in your headset, browse, manage, share and organize them.

It is also possible to download files from the web, view them and even upload them elsewhere, for example to Facebook, Slack, Discord, Google Drive or YouTube.

Additionally, you can upload files from the Oculus browser to the Files app and upload files from your device to websites through Browser.

A real play area of ​​100 to 225 m² (Guardian)

The V30 version of Oculus makes it possible to pass the Guardian limits over a physical area of ​​15 mx 15 m or 225 m². That is to say more than double the area authorized previously.

By comparing :

  • The Rift CV1 is a maximum of 4m x 4m (3 sensors).

  • Lighthouse 1.0 base stations can only be 5m x 5m.

  • Lighthouse 2.0 (Valve Index) base stations provide an area of ​​10m x 10m.

You will tell me, but what good is it I have a 15 m² bedroom and a 30 m² living room? Well, already many games take on another dimension by playing on a larger surface. For this, you will need a covered space with a good Wi-Fi network or use your smartphone in 4G / 5G as a Wi-Fi bridge.

  • A hangar

  • A large meeting room,

  • An indoor basketball court

  • An indoor tennis court or even a shed

  • A billionaire friend with a living room of 250 m².

  • Iu simply outside, but staying well in the shade.

The fun side is that you will exercise a lot more and especially an incredible immersion.
