Meta announced in a blog post that it is testing end-to-end encryption in quest's VR messenger application. With the launch of this test, the company is introducing optional end-to-end encryption for messenger's one-to-one information and calls in VR The test was launched as part of a new V40 software update. It is unclear how many people can use the test function, and how users choose to join the function.
"Whether you're telling mom your wedding plan, talking to friends about echo VR strategy, or discussing confidential work projects, you can use our industry-leading technology to add a layer of privacy and security to your personal chat," the company said in a blog post
Meta's introduction of end-to-end encryption technology into VR is not surprising, especially its efforts to finally introduce it into all services. Although there is no exact timetable, it was revealed last November that meta will launch end-to-end encryption in all its services and postpone it to "sometime in 2023".
The test came along with other features, including a new "mono audio" feature that allows users to hear the same audio from the left and right speakers in their head display instead of the default spatial audio effect. Meta also allows users to adjust the balance of left and right audio channels. For example, if you have better hearing in your right ear, you can adjust the balance to the left to help balance the sound. Users can find mono audio and audio balance options in the accessibility options in the settings menu.
VR messenger also has a new application unlocking function, which allows users to put specific games and applications behind the unlocking mode. For example, once an application is locked, you need authentication every time you want to unlock and start it. This new feature can be used to ensure that children can only access games suitable for their age. Before this function, the whole head display can only be locked behind one pattern. Meta said that this function will be a starting point for parents to manage family VR content. Meta will start to launch its parent supervision tool in the next few months.
Users can also pay with a credit card that supports 3DS in VR, including 3DS authorization steps. Previously, 3ds authorization could only be performed in oculus mobile applications. The new software update also enables [Apple] with a numeric keypad( https://apple.pvxt.net/c/1251234/435400/7639?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.apple.com%2Fcn%2Fmusic%2F ) Wonderful control keyboard, Logitech k375s and Logitech MX keyboard support.
