Meta’s v47 software update for the Quest platform is packed with quality-of-life features that look to improve the user experience across Quest Pro and Quest 2, offering things like better media sync, an avatar mirror, and the ability to directly gift apps from your wishlist to friends and family. More importantly, Quest Pro is finally getting mixed reality passthrough recording in v47, and unlocking Quest Pro controller support for Quest 2.

First, here’s a look at the Quest Pro specific stuff, followed by updates affecting the whole Quest platform.
Quest Pro Updates
Meta is looking to make good use of the extra horsepower in Quest Pro, as it’s set to gradually rollout background audio playback as an experimental feature, which will let you listen to music and podcasts Browser as well as Progressive Web Applications (PWAs), which include things like 2D apps like Instagram, Facebook, and Spike, but also WebXR-based stuff too.
Not being able to record mixed reality footage was a bit of a letdown when Quest Pro launched back in late October, but now Meta says v47 will soon (again, gradual rollout) let you capture photos and videos while using mixed reality in passthrough mode. Here’s a look at how you can easily transition from VR to passthrough MR during the same recording:

Quest-wide Updates
Speaking of video capture, Meta is making it easier to capture video and images on Quest with the addition of capture controller shortcuts. Once you have v47 in-hand, you’ll be able to capture images by holding the Oculus button down and pulling the right controller trigger. To record video, hold the Oculus button and long-hold the right controller trigger.
And syncing media is supposed to be a better experience too, as Meta says it’s improving how you view, edit and share your photos and videos you capture in VR. We’re hoping the new syncing method is faster and more reliable than the previous, which promised to automatically sync to the Oculus app, but often times left us waiting for days for images and video to show up.
Meta is also unlocking Quest Pro Touch controller compatibility with Quest 2 in v47. Quest Pro’s controller is the company’s first inside-out tracked controllers due to the inclusion of its own camera sensors. That means a wider range of motion in-game since you don’t need direct line of sight between the headset and controllers.

Many social VR apps have mirrors for easier avatar management, and now Quest will too. The v47 update lets you view and edit your avatar with a new mirror added to Home. This is set to roll out gradually and will be initially available in four environments: Desert Terrace, Space Station, Winter Lodge, and Cascadia.
Here’s a couple more goodies being added in v47:

Universal Menu Customization – You can start, find, and jump into a multiplayer session with your friends directly from the home screen. You’ll be able to pin and unpin apps from your library to your Universal Menu for quicker access to apps.
Revamped device management screen – Makes it easier to know when your headset needs to be charged.
Shareable Wishlists – Make your app wishlist public and send a link to friends and family. Modify your wishlist from the Store tab on your headset or the Meta Quest mobile app. Friends and family will be able to directly gift apps from your wishlist.
Meta Quest Digital Gift Cards – Redeemable for any app or game in the Meta Quest Store.

Quest Pro Update to Bring MR Passthrough Recording, Quest 2 Support for Pro Controllers

Immersive language learning VR app Noun Town is available now for Quest 2 and Quest Pro, with a PC VR release coming later in the month.
We first covered Noun Town back in September 2021, while it was in the midst of a Kickstarter campaign. A bit over a year later, it’s now available on Quest for $14.99, with a Steam release for PC VR to follow on December 15.
Noun Town currently supports Japanese, French, Spanish, Italian, Germany and Chinese. You’ll learn your chosen language by interacting with items on the island, completing minigames and progressing through 1000+ words and phrases.

In the trailer embedded above, you can see some examples of how the app uses the immersive capabilities of VR to teach you new words in different languages. You might browse a grocery store, for example, and pick up an item. The word for that item is then announced to you, after which you repeat it back to the app for verification using the Quest microphones.
While we can’t personally speak to the scientific grounds that might back up such a method, at first glance it seems the immersive nature of Noun Town could offer something more engaging and playful than traditional language learning tools. Noun Town is only designed for specific words and phrases, not full sentences, so it won’t be able to teach you an entire language. Regardless, it looks like a great way to start building up your vocabulary – we can’t wait to give it a try.

Start Learning A Language On Quest Using Noun Town, Available Now


Background audio playback, mixed reality capture, and a shareable wishlist are just a few of the updates you’ll find in Meta’s latest OS update.



It’s that time of the year when everyone is in the gift-giving spirit. This includes Meta, who this year is giving away several interesting goodies.






To kick things off, the company will begin rolling out v47 for Meta Quest 2 and Meta Quest Pro. This is the first official update since the Meta Quest Pro was released this past month. The update introduces a bunch of new features that will make any Quest Pro or Quest 2 owner happy.



Background Audio Playback



One of the most requested features in Meta Quest Pro is the ability to play back audio files. If you’re a multi-tasker who enjoys working with music or playing your favorite VR game while simultaneously listening to a podcast, then you’ll be psyched to know that you are now able to do so. You can find the feature in the Experimental Features panel.



Mixed Reality Capture









Update v47 introduces the ability to capture reality-bending mixed reality footage on your Quest Pro without any complex workarounds. This new feature can be used to record and show off various mixed reality moments, such as a late-night DJ battle in Tribe XR or an espionage scene in I Expect You to Die: Home Sweet Home.



Shareable Wishlists



Stop dropping vague clues to your loved ones about what you’d like for the holidays and just tell them! Create a wishlist and make it public, or use a special link and send it to your friends and family. You can also keep track of all of the gifts that you’ve received by visiting the My Account page. That way you can send everyone a nice thank you note.



Unsure what to ask for? Check out the Meta Quest Starter Kit to find some holiday gift inspirations. Once you’ve found something you like, just click the “Heart” icon or “Add to Wishlist” button.









You can also ask for a digital $15, $25, or $50 USD gift card from Meta Quest. If you’re buying a gift card for a friend, these ready-to-use prepaid cards can be sent with a personalized message. For example: “Dear Kyle. You stink. Enjoy this $50 gift card.”



Meta Quest Mobile App



Meta is adding new features that will make it easier for you to keep track of your virtual friends using the Meta app. This includes the ability to see what your friends are up to online, send direct messages, and poke them to see if they’re up for a quick game.



Meta is also adding a new feature to the home screen that will make it easier for you to start casting, access your favorite apps, and view your headset and controller battery life.






Avatar Mirror in Horizon Home



With v47, Meta is adding a new feature that will make it easier for you to change your avatar’s look, whether it’s a new face, a change of clothes, or an experimental mustache. You can now check how you look in Horizon Home using a mirror. This feature will be available for the Meta Quest 2 and the Meta Quest Pro. You can even make style and outfit changes in real time.



Throw on a stylish jacket for the Dalai Lama or dress a little more casually for the Pete Davidson show. The whole point of this feature is to make it easier for you to represent yourself in the metaverse. 



V47 also introduces a revamped Library for Horizon Home, making it easier to search and filter through your games. If you want more details about the changes in v47, check out Meta’s v47 Release Notes.

Meta Quest Pro Update Adds Mixed Reality Capture

Quest Pro recordings can now include the physical world passthrough background.

Previously the real-world portions of recorded mixed reality apps would show as empty blackness, but with v47 recordings now include the physical world. Technically this now makes Quest Pro a wearable video camera, raising new privacy concerns, though the passthrough quality is inferior to even a smartphone from 10 years ago.
Version 47 is the first major software update for Quest Pro since its launch, and the last for this year. The update also replaces the contoured translucent hands in Quest’s home environment with your Meta Avatar, so you see its arms and torso instead.

Meta’s v47 announcement blog post also claims Background Audio Playback as a new experimental feature, but this was actually present in v46 since Quest Pro’s launch. It lets you keep audio from browser windows or sideloaded Android apps playing in the background, for example Spotify.
That same blog post says v47 includes “a redesigned Library and new ways to filter and search through your games”, but my headset doesn’t seem to have this yet despite being on v47. Meta sometimes rolls out features progressively over the course of a week or more.


Quest Pro recording no longer excludes the real-world passthrough, letting you fully capture mixed reality.
