Meta Reveals Its New Quest 3 VR Headset

Meta has released its new Quest 3 VR Headset.

The most significant feature of the new product is its ability to quickly see the world outside the headset, which makes the device less isolating and more comfortable to use for longer periods. While using apps on the Quest 3, double-tapping any part of the headset brings you out of a virtual world and into ‘passthough’ mode which means the cameras outside the device can show live video on the display inside the head-set.

Other improvements include ‘Pancake Lenses’ which makes images sharper and allows for higher resolution.
