According to reports, the appearance design of Quest 3 is slimmer and more comfortable to wear, which is a significant improvement compared with its predecessor. In terms of configuration, Quest 3 will be equipped with Qualcomm's next-generation VR chip, which can achieve twice the graphics performance improvement of Quest 2. Quest 3 users can get a smoother experience and more detailed pictures.

At the same time, compared to Quest Pro, another product in the Quest series, Quest 3 brings a total of 2 front-facing RGB color cameras. Quest Pro, released in 2022, is equipped with a single RGB color camera and is the first head-mounted display device capable of providing a full-color MR experience. Quest 3 may be able to achieve 10 times the perspective pixels of Quest 2 and Quest Pro. Quest 3 is equipped with a depth sensor, which makes the presentation of the game space more accurate.

Mark Zuckerberg calls this the most powerful headset Meta has ever created. It is worth mentioning that there is less than a week left before the release of Apple’s first head-mounted display device, the Reality Pro. Mark Zuckerberg chose this time to release the Quest 3 first, obviously using the Reality Pro as a competitive product. However, according to rumors, Reality Pro may be priced at US$3,000-4,000, while the price of Quest 3 is obviously not in the same price range.

Editor's comment: The editor learned that the revenue and loss of Meta's "Metaverse" department in the first quarter of this year were US$339 million and US$3.99 billion respectively... This figure does not look optimistic. But Zuckerberg has obviously not given up research on the XR field. According to data from research institutions, sales of VR equipment in the United States in 2022 will be US$1.1 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 2%. Consumer-level products of this technology are still far from becoming mainstream. The editor can't help but worry about Meta and Apple, but who knows, maybe Apple's entry can really "detonate" the XR field and become another "flying pig" trend.
