  • Meta emailed Meta Quest headset owners to announce it would begin collecting “anonymized” data after the next software update.
  • The data will include information on hand and body movement, eye tracking, your physical environment, and more.
  • The company claims it will use the data to build better experiences.

Meta’s Quest headsets are some of the most popular VR devices on the market. However, privacy concerns have kept some people away from the brand. Meta’s latest announcement won’t do anything to assuage those feelings either.

Meta already makes it known that it collects certain types of data on its Quest platform on the company’s help center. This data is said to be used to “ensure your Meta Quest products work as intended, to implement your settings, and to maintain safety, security and integrity.” However, it appears there will be some changes in the near future.
