Meta Quest 3<\/a>\u00a0is getting a new app that will allow users to measure real-world objects. The utility app is called Layout, and it was released by the company on Monday as a part of the Meta Quest v68 update for the mixed-reality headset. The new app allows users to measure real objects and place virtual objects with a given size specification. It is aimed at helping people visualise the right size of furniture and other objects for their home before making a purchase.<\/p>\n

The utility app was announced in a blog post<\/a> by Meta on Monday. The company said, \u201cWe’re introducing a new Layout utility app for redesigning your real-world spaces, making it easier to manage your in-progress downloads, and more.\u201d Once the update is installed, the app will become available in the Meta Quest App Library.<\/p>\n

Users will need a free storage space of 139.28MB to download the Layout app<\/a>. The app supports English (UK and US) and Spanish languages currently. It supports touch controls and can function offline, according to the company.<\/p>\n

Layout, in essence, is a measuring and visualisation tool that can help users confirm the size of furniture or appliances before making a purchase. Users can measure existing furniture before going to the store or when they are shopping online. They can also place virtual furniture in a real-world setting and then measure the dimensions of the object to identify the right size.<\/p>\n

Additionally, it also has a levelling tool that can help users confirm if a photo frame or a smart TV fixed to a wall is horizontally parallel or is sloped at an angle. The app can measure objects across length, breadth, and height, allowing users to get a three-dimensional reference point.<\/p>\n

Apart from the Layout app, the Meta<\/a> Quest v68 update also added the Meta AI Vision and chatbot capabilities announced<\/a> last week. Meta Quest 3 users will be able to use it as the official assistant for the device. Meta AI<\/a> will be able to answer general queries as well as observe real-world surroundings using the mixed-reality headset’s passthrough feature and answer questions around that.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
