Here’s everything there is to know about the Meta Quest 3
Every single game and app in the Quest store will be playable on the Meta Quest 3. What’s more, Meta has said that over 50 of them are getting Quest 3 upgrades before the end of 2023 – be it to take advantage of the new and improved specs, or mixed reality support. On top of this over 50 new games and apps will be launching on the Quest store before the end of the year with Quest 3 support (though it's not clear if this means they’ll be exclusive to the new headset, or just be playable on it).
Exclusive software is likely on the way, though with the Quest 2 still so popular we imagine Meta may want developers to support both systems – albeit giving Quest 3 players some worthwhile improvements to their version of the game or app.
Mixed reality is a lot better on the Meta Quest 3 than either the Quest 2 or the Meta Quest Pro. For a start it’s full-color, relying on two RGB cameras placed on the headset’s front visor. This footage is a lot brighter, less grainy and more colorful than what the Quest Pro’s single RGB camera could provide.
It also has a new depth sensor which should make it easier for mixed reality software to understand the layout of your room. Virtual objects can know when they hit a wall or another object in the space and react accordingly.
The Quest 3 can also use its new sensors and its AI to automatically detect the size and shape of your VR play space. Plus, it can warn you when an object comes into this area. This should make it a lot easier to slip on your headset and start playing in VR or MR.
Augments are new mixed reality widgets you can use to decorate your home. We haven’t had much experience using them, but Meta says they can do a wide range of things. They might be a portal to your favorite game like Asgard’s Warth 2, a floating media player for iHeart Radio, a trophy you won in Beat Saber, or a simple decoration you like the look of.
Bets of all your Quest 3 will remember where you’ve put your augments, so when you return to your playspace in the future everything will be just where you left it.
