Immersive productivity for Windows 11 is now available<\/a> on the Meta Quest 3 and 3S<\/a> with the latest release of Meta’s Horizon OS. The feature, called Mixed Reality Link, was available on a limited basis after public previews<\/a> began last year. The Windows virtual desktop experience is now rolling out to all users.<\/p>\n

After installing Mixed Reality Link on their Windows 11 PC, users will pair the machine with their Meta Quest headsets. Mixed Reality Link also supports portable, cloud-based solutions such as Windows 365 Cloud PC, Azure Virtual Desktop, Microsoft Dev Box and others. The virtual environment, which displays the equivalent of multiple high-resolution monitors, is similar to the Apple Vision Pro<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The stark difference in cost between the headsets makes this a far more approachable virtual working tool for the average consumer. The Meta Quest 3S<\/a> starts at $300, while the Apple Vision Pro comes out of the gate at a hefty $3,500.<\/p>\n

Facebook parent company Meta has been investing heavily in virtual reality and augmented reality technology. The company recently teased a futuristic VR headset<\/a> that it says will offer VR experiences \u201cindistinguishable from the physical world\u201d as well as Ray-Ban smart glasses<\/a> with Meta AI live translation and 3K video recording.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Immersive productivity for Windows 11 is now available on the Meta Quest 3 and 3S with the latest…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":111077,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[47490,1106,111,139,69,145,79554,360,361,362,26437],"class_list":{"0":"post-111076","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-virtual-reality","8":"tag-apple-vision","9":"tag-mixed-reality","10":"tag-new-zealand","11":"tag-newzealand","12":"tag-nz","13":"tag-technology","14":"tag-virtual-environment","15":"tag-virtual-reality","16":"tag-virtualreality","17":"tag-vr","18":"tag-windows-11"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/111076","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=111076"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/111076\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/111077"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=111076"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=111076"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=111076"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
