You can also use the app to place virtual objects in a real-world environment, as well as try out the leveling tool to ensure the picture you just hung up isn\u2019t crooked. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"my-9\">\n<p><figcaption class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup inline text-gray-13 dark:text-gray-e9 [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-black [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-gray-e9 dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-gray-63 [&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray-13 dark:[&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray-63\"><em>You can place and resize virtual objects \u2014 like a TV \u2014 to see how they look.<\/em><\/figcaption><cite class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup inline not-italic text-gray-63 dark:text-gray-bd [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-gray-63 [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-gray-bd dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-gray [&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray-63 dark:[&amp;&gt;a]:text-gray-bd dark:[&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray\">Image: Meta<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">Along with the Layout app, the v68 update includes Meta\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.meta.com\/blog\/quest\/meta-ai-on-meta-quest-3\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">experimental AI assistant<\/a> that\u2019s already on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2024\/4\/23\/24138090\/ray-ban-meta-smart-glasses-ai-wearables\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">company\u2019s Ray-Ban smart glasses<\/a>.
