Meta's new Quest 3 was just announced days ahead of Apple's WWDC event and the budget VR headset has some impressive upgrades.
We finally got an official look at the upcoming Quest 3 VR headset at Meta’s gaming showcase. Meta’s newest budget headset isn’t shipping yet, but we gleaned a few details to whet your appetite.
Related The Quest 3 also has a depth sensor, which is entirely new to Meta headsets. This allows the headset to scan the room, plotting the shape and distance of walls and surfaces. With this 3D map of your surroundings, you don’t need to manually draw out a guardian boundary, which provides a visual cue when you get close to straying from a safe play space.
Rumors suggest Apple’s Reality Pro will excel at mixed reality with remarkable realism. Its ARKit software already allows the iPhone to map rooms and place virtual objects on surfaces with appropriate shadows and occlusion if you place your hand in front. Apple’s XR headset will undoubtedly be as impressive as it is expensive when it finally arrives.
The Meta Quest 3 will sell for $500 and launch this fall. More details will be available at Meta Connect on September 27, 2023.
