The headset partnership between Samsung, Google, and Qualcomm was announced earlier this year. Samsung will be responsible for manufacturing, Google will contribute the operating system and software development, and Qualcomm will supply the chipset. The (unspoken) goal of the alliance is to bring a product to market that can compete with or even outmatch Apple’s Vision Pro.
my Quest 3 can run Android apps, I sideloaded F-Droid, Jerboa, and ScummVM into it lol
it honestly works better than expected, no complaints except you can’t adjust the aspect ratio of the apps, they just stay in like a portrait mode (except ScummVM which correctly forces itself to always be landscape)
Pico does too, and it puts everything in landscape/tablet mode. I don’t understand why anyone would assume a VR headset (made by Samsung no less) wouldn’t support Android apps.
You can actually, you have to hit the “change view” button on the dock, and then you can scale the app up to be huge and any aspect ratio you want.
I meant in tablet mode, much nicer when walking around or using it barehanded
Oh, okay yeah.
I wouldn’t mind better android app support, I’ve tried reading comics on it and I hate having to use the controllers
