If you’ve been disappointed by the Meta Quest Pro’s visuals when using it for PCVR then you’ll likely want to download the headset’s next software update, as it should greatly improve your experience. One of the biggest updates to the Quest Pro compared with the Oculus Quest 2 is its improved display. As we highlighted in our Meta Quest Pro review , its miniLED LCD panels offer 37% more pixels per inch, 10% more pixels per degree, and 75% better contrast than the Quest 2’s – with the contrast improvement afforded by an effect called local dimming. However, local dimming has been an opt-in feature, so developers have to enable it for their Quest Store applications. This opt-in system has meant that PCVR software – which Quest Pro owners can access by using a Link Cable or Air Link – is unable to take advantage of the Quest Pro display’s improved contrast. Thankfully, that looks set to change in system update V51. According to users in Meta’s Public Test Channel … [Read more...] about PCVR fans need to download the next Meta Quest Pro update as soon as possible

Using my Oculus Quest 2 and Meta Quest Pro I've had an absolute blast playing the VR hit The Last Clockwinder and also Barbaria , a recent addition to the Quest platform.

Ads are coming for the Bing AI chatbot, as they come for all Microsoft products
Microsoft has spent a lot of time and energy over the last few months adding generative AI features to all its products, particularly its long-standing, long-struggling Bing search engine. And now the company is working on fusing this fast-moving, sometimes unsettling new technology with some old headaches: ads. Further Reading The newest feature in the Microsoft Store is more ads In a blog post earlier this week , Microsoft VP Yusuf Mehdi said the company was "exploring placing ads in the chat experience," one of several things the company is doing "to share the ad revenue with partners whose content contributed to the chat response." The company is also looking into ways to let Bing Chat show sources for its work, sort of like the ways Google, Bing, and other search engines display a source link below snippets of information they think might answer the question you asked.

Prusa Research has launched its much-anticipated Original Prusa MK4 3D printer , which promises to deliver high-speed printing with ease. The company says the MK4 is more than just an upgraded version of the popular MK3 (despite the similar looks) with 90% of the machine being all-new and offering a host of features and improvements. Prusa says this makes it look likely to be one of the fastest and most reliable 3D printers on the market today. Original Prusa MK4 In a call with Josef Průša, I asked why the company had decided to stick with the iconic design of the Original PRUSA's that had come before. The answer was straightforward - the Original Prusa customer base is loyal, and to cut off the development for those existing users now is not an option, especially when the performance of the MK4 can more than compete with the latest Core XY machines when it comes to speed and speed reliability. A clear upgrade path must be part of the PRUSA model, as does … [Read more...] about The Prusa MK4 might be the fastest and most efficient 3D printer out there
