    Meta Opens Quest Operating System to Third-Party Device Makers


    The operating system that powers Meta Quest headsets can now be used by third-party hardware makers, Meta Platforms said on Monday.

    Meta Horizon OS combines the core technologies powering mixed reality experiences like gesture tracking and high-resolution pass-through, Meta said.

    It added that firms like Asus, Lenovo and Microsoft's Xbox are developing devices on the platform. 

    The company has already confirmed that Asus and Lenovo are building news headsets for Meta Horizon OS. Meta also says it’s collaborating with Microsoft on a “limited-edition Quest” that’s “inspired by Xbox,” surely leaning into the partnership which brought the Xbox Cloud Gaming app to Meta’s existing headsets.

    CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in an Instagram video on Monday, “It’s probably going to take a couple of years for some of these new [metaverse] products to start launching but really excited to get started on this next chapter and to get this into your hands as soon as possible.”
