Meta made a request to Apple: It hopes that the Quest headset will support the "air play" function

According to news on February 22, meta company’s VR Vice President Mark Rabkin (Mark Rabkin recently revealed in a public interaction that they have officially submitted a request to Apple, hoping to enable the Quest headset to support the "AirPlay" function, thereby achieving the ability to receive various media content.

If Apple accepts this request, the Quest headset will be able to transform into a new display device, similar to a TV that supports "Air Play". By then, users of Apple devices such as iPhone and iPad will be able to easily use the "Air Play" function to wirelessly project videos, music and other media content to the Quest headset to enjoy an immersive viewing experience.

According to the editor’s understanding, the current Quest headset has some shortcomings in media functions, especially the lack of native media streaming applications. If the "air playback" function can be successfully introduced, it will significantly enrich its media content sources and improve user experience.

In addition, the Quest headset also faces some challenges for existing streaming applications. For example, the Netflix app has not been updated in years, can only stream media in 480p format, requires the use of a controller, and does not support downloading or passthrough functionality. The Peacock application is more like a shortcut to a website and also does not support download functions. Even more embarrassing is that Amazon Prime The Video app has been deprecated and users cannot even connect to the service. In this context, the introduction of the "air playback" function is particularly important and urgent.
