the stylus that Apple would like in its Vision Pro

If the new Copilot key is a requirement from Microsoft for Windows 11, Logitech surprised everyone with its own in its peripherals with Logi Options+. Now this company comes with another very striking proposal: a pencil to draw in the air with Meta Quest glasses.

Logitech has unveiled a mixed reality stylus for Meta Quest glasses, the MX Ink that has been designed at a very tempting price to delve into a new way of understanding creativity. This stylus has a starting price of $130 and is compatible with Meta’s Quest 2 and Quest 3 devices; Yes, the Meta Quest Pro is out of the game and we will have to see if they will be compatible with new glasses that would be presented at Meta Connect 2024.

The Logitech MX Ink stylus will be launched in September and is made up of two replacement tips, one finer and the other wider. The idea is that both are used in conjunction with the Meta Quest app. It allows you to adjust factors such as the pressure curve and double tap directly from the Meta app settings.

Best of all, according to Logitech, is that you can switch between the Quest and MX Ink controls in a simple and intuitive way and It is the first peripheral with official third-party support for Meta’s Quest glasses. The experiences it allows range from writing or drawing on 2D surfaces to switching to three-dimensional space to design whatever you want, while the pressure-sensitive tip and main button will allow you to design with great precision.

7 hours of autonomy with a single charge, according to Logitech in its advertisement, and it can be charged via USB type-C or a dock available separately. It will have an extra accessory, the MX Mat, which is still a flat surface that will help, according to Logitech, to draw and paint without friction.

This Logitech accessory will be compatible with several Quest design apps such as Gravity Sketch, PaintingVR, Arkio, Engage, OpenBrush, Gesture VR and ShapesXR; as with some PC apps like Adobe Substance Modeler and Elucis. In this way, Logitech is ahead of Apple, which is developing the Pencil experience in the Vision Pro, although it seems that there is still a long way to go for it to be a reality according to Engadget.
