IN PICS: Mark Zuckerberg Announces Quest 3, Meta's Latest Mixed Reality Headset

Zuckerberg introduced virtual reality/augmented reality (VR/AR) headset, the Meta Quest 3, on Thursday.

Priced at $499, the Quest 3 will be available later this autumn.

The Quest 3 will offer full-colour passthrough, allowing users to perceive their surroundings in vivid colour through the built-in front-facing cameras.

Meta revealed that the Quest 3 will come with reconfigured controllers called Touch Plus. These controllers will incorporate enhanced tracking technology, haptic feedback, and improved ergonomics.

In terms of content, Quest 3 will support the same library of games and applications as Quest 2, boasting a collection of approximately 500 titles and experiences.

Meta also plans to reduce the price of the Quest 2 with 128GB storage to $299. Moreover, a forthcoming software update will enhance the CPU and GPU performance of the Quest 2.
