Microsoft is working on bringing ‘Windows Volumetric Apps’ to Meta Quest headsets – in other words, extending Windows apps into 3D space.

 


The company revealed the news at its developer conference, the 2024 Build Event. At Build, Microsoft offers comprehensive sessions for developers as well as professionals that help them build awareness about the company’s tools that support new Windows 11 and Microsoft 365 features. 

 

The new Meta x Windows collaboration implies that, soon, owners of the Meta Quest headsets could view 3D apps and digital objects via their wearable gadgets and physically interact with these apps and objects using their hands.

Sonos is currently all about revealing its “most requested product ever,” that is most likely speculated to be its new wireless headphones called the ‘Sonos Ace.’

 

In the emails and social media promotions, the company does not specify the product, but in the form of a timer, it does mention that it will be launched on the 21st of May. Although the Ace headphones were expected to arrive in June, perhaps the description “most requested” hints at the reason for an early release. Moreover, the headphones recently also made their appearance at authorized dealer Schuurman's sale, which makes it all the more easier to believe that it could indeed be the product that’s being hinted at.

Drawing tablet manufacturing company Wacom has recently announced its first OLED drawing tablet “Movink 13.” Walcom claims Movink is its thinnest and lightest portable display drawing tablet yet.

 

Movink is available for purchase on Wacom’s website, priced at $750. It comes with a full HD 13.3-inch Samsung OLED display. As compared to Wacom’s LED-based offerings, the OLED is more advantageous due to the absence of a backlight, which results in lack of light leakage and excess heat. The OLED display also adds to a more compact form of the tablet.

 

When it comes to Movink’s weight, it is only 420 grams, which makes it 55% lighter than the Wacom One 13 touch, which is a similar size; and even lighter than Apple’s existing iPad Pro model that is almost the same thickness. Movink’s thickness ranges between 4–6.6mm, which is 66% thinner than the Wacom One 13 touch.

 


The tablet’s cable system is simple: a single USB-C to USB-C cable that works for power as well as connectivity. It is also equipped with an additional USB-C port, in case further power is required. Movink 13 features two customizable built-in buttons, each on either side of the device, for functions like toggling touch on and off.
