The Meta Quest Store is up to $2 billion in lifetime sales now.

“Every time you put on your headset, they’re right where you left them.”
That’s Boz describing “Augments,” a feature coming to Meta Quest 3 next year where you can pin virtual objects to surfaces and walls in your real world and they should... just stay there.
“You can keep your favorite trophies on your shelf; place life-size artifacts from games like Population One or Asgard’s Wrath in your living room.” He says interactive music players will be available as well.

Sadly, we won’t get to hear John Carmack talk shop and delightfully criticize his employer this year.
Carmack has delivered an unscripted talk at every Oculus / Meta Connect that I can remember, but he left Meta late last year after a particularly grumpy tell-all. He’s focusing on AI (and not the newfangled generative variety) at his startup, Keen Technologies.
Instead, we’ll get Carmack’s fellow lauded game industry programmer Michael Abrash, and CTO Andrew Bosworth, immediately following Zuck’s keynote.
