Meta showed off the Quest 3 mixed reality headset with just a few days to go until Apple unveils the Reality Pro AR/VR device at WWDC.
That said, the Quest 3 headset will continue to look just like any regular VR headset. We’re looking at goggles that cover both eyes. Overall, the device should be lighter and thinner than the Quest 2. Meta says it’s 40% slimmer than the predecessor.Meta Quest 2 vs. Quest 3 . Image source: Meta
The sensor in the middle features a depth sensor that will help the headset identify objects in your vicinity. Comparatively, the Quest 2 had no depth sensor and only featured one non-color camera. You also get two remotes with the Quest 3, just like its predecessor. The Touch Plus controllers are similar to the Quest Pro version, but they don’t have large rings on top or cameras.
The Quest 3 will cost more than its predecessor. When it’s released this fall, it’ll have a price that starts at $499 . But that’s still a much better price than the $3,000 rumored price tag for Apple’s upcoming Reality Pro headset. You can’t really make a one-to-one comparison, though.Apple’s Reality Pro headset should offer more sophisticated features thanks to that extra power.
