Meta has stated that it will let other hardware makers use the operating system that runs its Meta Quest devices. This is a big step toward a more open computer platform for the metaverse. The new name for the operating system is Meta Horizon OS². It used to be called Quest OS.

It is believed that letting third-party hardware makers use the operating system will lead to the development of a new community of mixed-reality devices. People think this is a big step toward Meta’s goal of making the metaverse’s computer base more open.

Meta Horizon OS brings together the main technologies that make mixed reality experiences possible today with a set of features that make social presence the most important part of the platform². Meta worked for ten years to make it happen. It is a next-generation computer platform.

Meta has said that it will keep working on its line of Quest headsets, even though it has made the operating system available to other companies. This means that other companies that make hardware will be able to use the Horizon OS, but Meta will still be coming up with new hardware.

When the Horizon OS is made public, more people and companies around the world should be able to use the power of mixed reality. More gadget makers will be able to reach a wider range of people and developers will be able to run their apps on a wider range of hardware.

Meta has announced changes to its virtual reality business that will make it a more open environment for developers. These changes are in addition to making the operating system more open.³ As part of this, the Meta Quest Store, which sells apps for its glasses, has been renamed the Meta Horizon Store.

The release of Meta Horizon OS comes at a time when Meta is in a battle with Apple to control the next generation of computers.⁴ Meta is taking advantage of third-party gear and gaining a new source of income by letting other businesses use its operating system.⁵

Finally, Meta’s decision to rename its Quest OS as Meta Horizon OS and make it available to third parties is a big step forward in its quest to make the metaverse a more open computer platform. The Meta Horizon OS is going to be an important tool for coders and gear makers all over the world as Meta keeps improving and coming up with new goods.
