Meta has announced a significant shift in its virtual reality strategy by opening up the Meta Horizon OS to third-party hardware makers. This move allows companies like Asus, Lenovo, and Microsoft to develop VR headsets using Meta's operating system, aiming to create a more open ecosystem similar to Android in the smartphone market. The initiative, which includes integrating App Lab titles into the Meta Horizon Store, is designed to enhance the accessibility and diversity of VR hardware options, potentially increasing competition and innovation within the industry. Meta's decision is seen as a strategic attempt to compete more effectively with rivals such as Apple and to establish a dominant position in the extended reality (XR) market, encouraging the development of Quest-like headsets by other companies.

The "open platform" idea that Zucky B just announced is not due to some altruistic means. They tried the Apple closed approach, it didn't work. Meta getting sued for their closed store model, AndroidXR much more open than the Quest, and Vision Pro is much easier for app approval
In case it wasn’t clear from all the cheering from the sidelines: Meta Horizon is open like Windows is open. Not open source, just open to some hardware vendors.
