The Magic Keyboard joins Logitech's K830 as the first functioning keyboards supported in the virtual world.
This might not benefit touch typists, but for everyone else, throwing out the Quest VR controllers for a visible keyboard can make it easier to navigate the Oculus menus or get work done in a virtual productivity app—if that’s your thing. This feature is only as good as the support it receives from devs, so Meta is releasing a Tracked Keyboard SDK that optimizes apps for the two available keyboards.
Oculus plans to support more keyboards in the future, though the process is taking longer than expected. Andrew Bosworth, Facebook’s vice president of augmented and virtual reality, wrote in an Instagram AMA last year that he’d like to add support for all keyboards, but that it has “proven a lot harder than we expected it to.”Also arriving in the v37 update is a link-sharing feature for Android users.
Oculus is also tweaking the Explore page—the interface you first see at startup—with recommendations for new games, apps, and videos, which will live alongside a new Fitness and Productivity section.
