Facebook finalizes the details of an upcoming update for its virtual reality glasses. And pay attention, because it will allow Oculus Quest owners to enjoy one of the functionalities that iPad users demand the most: multi-account support .
Oculus Quest will allow multi-account login
Facebook has made an interesting announcement for all those users who have decided to bet on their augmented reality glasses. According to the company, the next update they launch will incorporate a new option through which you can log in with different accounts in the same glasses.
That means that, despite having an account associated as the main device to the device, other users will be able to log in with their data so that things like achievements and other information can be stored independently depending on which user is using them at any time.
That is, this is nothing more than the multi-user startup option that we enjoy on other devices such as computers or even guest mode or that allows another user to be configured on an Android mobile phone. Because while it is true that some products are designed to be something more personal and non-transferable, virtual reality glasses such as Oculus are rather something that many easily acquire with the idea of sharing with others within the home.
That is why being able to separate profiles, progress and achievements is so important . As much as it happens in the iPad and even so Apple still does not offer this feature that surprisingly will come before the virtual reality glasses of Facebook than the tablet of the apple company.
When will Facebook update its Oculus Quest with multi-account support?
Support for multi-account sign-in is something that will come first to Oculus Quest 2 this February . Once all the appropriate tests are carried out and possible problems and details that may have arisen are solved, it will be when the final update is launched that will be available for the rest of the glasses of the Oculus family.
Therefore, only if you have a Quest 2 can you go to the experimental options menu and activate this new option. If, on the other hand, you have another previous model, the only thing you can do is wait. But at least you are sure that a feature will arrive that will be a significant improvement for all those who share glasses at home. Especially if you are tired that your progress or data can be mixed with those of others.
Finally, if you are an application developer for the Facebook virtual reality platform, you should know that all the apps will be added automatically to this new multiple login option . If for any reason you do not want to allow this possibility, you can choose to participate in this experience until February 12.
We suppose that it will be something temporary and in the end all the apps will have to support, but if for some reason you have to prepare changes in your startup system, save data in the cloud, etc., then you may have extra time. be interesting.
