# Multi-Platform Fitness Trackers Meta is Updating its Oculus Move Tracker with Wider Compatability By Colin Smith | Published 2022-04-09 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oculus-move References: [venturebeat](https://venturebeat.com/2022/03/10/oculus-move-users-can-track-stats-outside-of-quest-2-in-new-update/) & [support.oculus](https://support.oculus.com/move/)  'Oculus Move' is a fitness-tracking application built into the 'Meta Quest 2,' Meta's premier virtual reality headset. The application allows users to set goals, monitor daily activities such as calorie loss, and view various statistics related to personal fitness. Previously, the Oculus Move app would only work with applications played directly on the Meta Quest 2, meaning it would track head and hand movements in order to determine calorie loss. Meta has announced an update for the Oculus Move app that makes it compatible with more than just the Meta Quest 2. The application can now sync to mobile devices through the Oculus mobile application. This allows users to continue tracking their fitness trends even when not using the Meta Quest 2. The largest benefit to this feature is the consolidation of statistics. Instead of needing to use a separate mobile application or a fitness-tracking watch in addition to the headset, the trackers can now be synced to the same app. Image Credit: Meta ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 73% | Activity: 76% | Freshness: 11% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Multi-platform Fitness Tracking:** The Meta Quest 2's updated Oculus Move app is compatible with mobile devices, leading to the consolidation of fitness trackers. - **Virtual Reality Fitness:** Fitness tracking through VR headsets may be a disruptive innovation to traditional gym memberships. - **Unified Fitness Tracking Applications:** The trend of combining fitness trackers into one application may lead to increased user engagement and ease of use. ### Who This Affects Most - **Virtual Reality:** The integration of fitness tracking into VR headsets may disrupt traditional uses of the technology. - **Mobile Devices:** The compatibility of fitness trackers with mobile devices may disrupt the wearable tech industry. - **Fitness Apps:** The trend of unified fitness tracking applications may disrupt the traditional models of fitness tracking technology and applications. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Heart-Rate Monitoring VR Headsets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meta-quest.md) - [Mixed-Reality Wellness Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alo-moves-xr.md) - [Biometric Data VR Tracking](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biometric-data-tracking.md) - [Virtual Reality Fidelity Updates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meta-quest-3-update.md) - [Workplace-Focused Metaverse Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quest-v37.md) - [Wireless Portable VR Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vive-focus-3.md) - [Full-Body VR Workouts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/full-body-vr-workout.md) - [App-Facilitated VR Integrations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whatsapp-4.md) - [Inclusive Custom Avatar Enhancements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quest-avatar.md)
