Like other digital giants, Facebook has decided to activate voice commands for its Oculus Quest VR headset as well as its Portal connected screen. The users of these connected objects will only have to pronounce “Hey Facebook” to activate this functionality and launch certain options while keeping their hands free.
Facebook has just launched its own voice activation command. With the phrase “Hey Facebook”, users of connected objects from Mark Zuckerberg’s company will be able to access certain options without going through the menus, indicates The Verge , relayed by the specialized media 01.Net ce Friday February 26. You no longer need to have your hands free to access certain options.
Facebook’s connected screens, called Portal, will benefit from the activation of voice commands. This new feature will also be deployed on Facebook’s virtual reality headsets. The Oculus Quest 2 models will be the first to be affected.
Available only in North America
“Hey Facebook, show me who is online”, will be able to launch a user of this connected accessory to instantly know who are the other connected users. It will also be possible to take a picture, restart or launch a game, specifies a site specializing in virtual reality.
For screens as for headsets, this feature can be activated or deactivated if users do not wish to use it. It is currently only available to US or English Canadian users.
