Meta announced the Meta Quest 3 today ahead of Apple's WWDC event on Monday where the Cupertino firm is anticipated to announce its first reality-based headset. The Quest 3 is the company's next mainstream mixed reality and VR headset which will be launching for $499 later this year.
Meta's very own CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, presented the Quest 3 to the audience of Meta Quest Gaming Showcase. The new headset is touted to gain full-color passthrough via the added forward-facing 4MP cameras and sensor. This feature allows the physical environment to be blended into the virtual experience similar to the premium Quest Pro (review). For example, you can use tables to set up games or virtually decorate a room.
Meta Quest 3 has double the graphic power
The Quest 3 runs on the next-gen Snapdragon platform. Meta says this has double the graphical performance over the Snapdragon chipset of the Quest 2 (review). However, the company confirms that it plans to boost the CPU and GPU of the Quest 2 and Quest Pro through a future software update. At the same time, dynamic resolution upscaling is supported, resulting in better details and smoother gameplay when viewed on the pancake optics.
When it comes to the device profile, it is 40 percent thinner than the previous model. This provides a more comfortable fit for a long period of use. Meta said that it redesigned the Quest 3 Touch Plus controllers by removing the guard ring while compatibility with Quest Pro controllers is added. More importantly, hand tracking is supported out of the box without the use of the controllers.
The Meta Quest 3 is hitting the shelves in fall for $499 with compatibility with over 500 games and apps from the 2nd gen Quest headset. Meanwhile, Meta is lowering the price of the Quest 2, which will drop to $299 starting on June 4.
