You’d be forgiven for not realizing that the Quest 3 is actually the fourth<\/em> headset in Meta’s popular Quest line. In fact, Meta would probably prefer that everyone forget about last year’s ill-considered Quest Pro<\/a>, which paired a handful of minor improvements with an absolutely massive $1,500 starting price. Even a quick price drop to $1,000<\/a> couldn’t save this over-engineered stopgap gadget.<\/p>\n

What a difference a year makes\u2014or three years, for VR aficionados who wisely stuck with 2020’s Quest 2<\/a> until now. The Quest 3 offers distinct improvements over previous Quest headsets in the areas that matter most (resolution, form factor, etc.) without many of the Pro’s more expensive, heavy, and least necessary indulgences (eye-tracking cameras, rechargeable controllers, charging dock, etc.). The Quest 3 also offers a usable (but rough) suite of new mixed-reality features, providing an intriguing glimpse of a world where VR content is routinely layered over our view of reality.<\/p>\n

Most importantly, the Quest 3<\/a> does this all at a mass-market price (starting at $500) and in a way that ensures continuity with Quest’s existing software. While there’s nothing here that will usher in the long-sought<\/a> virtual reality revolution<\/a>, this is the kind of incremental improvement the space needs if it’s going to continue to increase the size of its niche<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
