Oculus Meta Quest 3

Meta Quest 3B

Meta Quest 3 Compared to its predecessor, the Quest 2, the Quest 3’s design is lighter and more comfortable,

with a “40 percent slimmer optic profile” (without taking its foam facial interface into account),

while a new Snapdragon chip inside has twice the graphics performance.

In addition, an upcoming software update for the Quest 2 and Meta’s more expensive

Quest Pro will increase their CPU and GPU performance and enable Dynamic Resolution Scaling.

and hours ahead of a showcase for games on Meta’s VR platform

Meta Quest 3 said it would have a AAA adventure title to show there

and promised additional details to come during the annual Meta Connect event scheduled for September 27th.

We already had a pretty good idea of how the Quest 3 would shake out with the then-unannounced device earlier this week,

reporting on the lighter and more comfortable design that adds new sensors and redesigned controllers.

The video clearly shows off the three new sensor areas across the front of the device

that do the most to differentiate it from earlier versions,

as well as the head strap.

Gurman described that the pill-shaped zones hold four cameras split evenly between the left and right sides

— two of which are full-color cameras and two standard

— and a single depth sensor in the middle that could improve the headset’s AR performance.

We also see the new Touch Plus controllers with TruTouch haptics “for experiences you can feel,”

without the old rings they used to have for positional tracking.

Meta Quest 3 This announcement didn’t go into detail on the sensor setup,

but the depth sensor should work with the controllers,

and Meta confirmed hand tracking will be supported out of the box this time around.
