Meta, Facebook's parent company, has finally unveiled Meta Quest 3. It is already available for pre-orders and customers will get their hands on the device soon. This game-changing mixed reality headset, which starts at $499.99 for the 128GB model and $649.99 for the 512GB variant, offers a significant advancement in technology and immersive experience compared to Quest 2.
One of Meta Quest 3's most notable features is its seamless transition between fully immersive virtual experiences and a blended world in which virtual elements are superimposed on the user’s physical surroundings. Users may switch between various modes by just double-tapping the side of the headset, making it extremely user-friendly.
Meta Quest 3 Specifications:
1. Peak Performance: The new Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 architecture created in partnership with Qualcomm Technologies gives the headset twice the graphic processing capability of the Quest 2. Games with lightning-fast load times and incredibly rich images provide an unrivalled experience.
2. Advanced Display and Optics: The 4K+ Infinite Display in Meta Quest 3 represents a nearly 30% boost in resolution over its predecessor. The visual quality is nothing short of amazing, with 25 pixels every degree and 1,218 pixels per inch.
3. Slimmer Profile: The next-generation pancake lens optical stack in the headset results in a 40% smaller optic profile than the Quest 2 without sacrificing visual immersion.
4. Comfort and Customization: With a revised, slimmer appearance and a more customisable fit, the Quest 3 prioritises comfort. Maximum comfort is ensured with balanced weight distribution, soft adjustable straps, and allowances for glasses wearers.
5. Immersive Audio: Meta Quest 3's spatial audio experience is unparalleled. When compared to Quest 2, users will notice improved sound clarity, bass performance, and a 40% louder audio spectrum.
Meanwhile, Meta has already reduced the prices of Meta Quest 2 with aim to help users select the device as per their requirements.
