Meta’s latest OS update brings all sorts of goodies which Quest enthusiasts are sure to appreciate. And, yes, that includes legs!
Meta Quest 3 sets a new benchmark for standalone VR headsets, with convenience that challenges PSVR 2's better graphics, and features to rival Apple Vision.
The Meta Quest 3 is the latest VR headset to hit the shops - we've spent time playing with it and this is what we think.
By Brian X. Chen Last week, I spent several hours trying Meta’s latest goggles, the Quest 3. They ship next month. The headset runs virtual reality games with a novel twist: While shooting a blaster gun, snatching bats from midair and controlling a robot, I could see the real world through built-in cameras. This is what Meta and its new rival, Apple, which recently unveiled the $3,500 Vision Pro headset, call “mixed reality” or “spatial computing,” interchangeable terms to describe computers that blend digital data with the physical world.
For $500, this is as close to living in the metaverse as you’re likely to get. And that’s ok.
