Meta made waves this week when it announced Meta Horizon OS, a rebranding of the Meta Quest operating system. This new OS will work similarly to Android or Windows, allowing companies like Lenovo, ASUS ROG, and even Xbox to develop their own headsets without worrying about the operating system layer.
In a way, this means Meta's first-party headsets, like the Meta Quest 3, will become far more similar to a Google Pixel. Meta has its own hardware and, like Google, will also maintain the operating system behind it while simultaneously supporting other companies using that same OS. It's a lot more complicated than ever, and that's making a few VR developers nervous.
