Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg unveiled the social media giant's new mixed-reality headset Quest 3.

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

Meta’s mixed-reality headset Quest 3 will cost $499 and it will be available later this autumn.

The Quest 3 will offer full-colour passthrough. Users can perceive their surroundings in vivid colour through the built-in front-facing cameras.

Meta said Quest 3 will come with reconfigured controllers called Touch Plus. It will incorporate enhanced tracking technology, haptic feedback, and improved ergonomics.

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

Meta could also reduce the price of the Quest 2 with 128GB storage to $299. A forthcoming software update could also enhance the CPU and GPU performance of the Quest 2.
