Meta launches Quest 3 mixed-reality headset: Check specs, features, price, more

One of the big issues plaguing VR has been how insular it can be.  When playing you’re inside and the world is outside, and while the Quest 2 had a low-res black and white camera it was little more use than a way to not bump into things when outside of the user-defined play space.  One of the Quest 3’s biggest upgrades is to the camera system, though, which now works at a decent resolution in full color, and that means the flood of mixed reality games is just about to start.  New games are on the way while existing ones are getting updates, and one of the first is the excellent music game Synth Riders.

We’re just a day away from the launch of the Meta Quest 3 virtual reality headset, upon which many metaverse dreams depend. Here’s our hands-on review.

Apple and Meta are two of the world's biggest tech companies, and both of them have dipped their toes into a new technology recently - mixed reality.

At the World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2023 on June 5, Apple took the wraps off its first-ever mixed reality headset, the Apple Vision Pro. Although both of these headsets aim to improve mixed reality, they target different demographics.
