Meta Quest OS Update: Redesign & Train Mode

Meta is introducing significant updates with its Quest v71 update, bringing changes to Meta Horizon OS, a new calendar app, and the ability to use Travel Mode on trains. The update will be gradually rolled out starting next week.

Redesign of Meta Horizon OS

The redesign of Meta Horizon OS includes tweaks to the interface, with new headsets featuring an improved light theme by default. Dark mode remains an option for those who prefer it, and existing users will not be automatically switched over. Meta has also made changes to panel appearance, control bar placement, UI element colors, and more. The Settings menu has a new look, layout, and enhanced search functionality.

Calendar App

The new calendar app in Meta allows users to view and interact with their schedules in VR. It integrates with Google and Outlook calendars, as well as Meta Horizon Worlds events and meetings in Meta Horizon Workrooms.
