Facebook parent company Meta today announced the upcoming launch of the $500 Meta Quest 3, its newest mixed reality headset that goes up against the much more expensive Vision Pro that Apple plans to launch next year.
Meta claims that the Quest 3 was redesigned from the inside out, and it features “4K+ Infinite Display resolution” thanks to two displays with a 2064×2208 resolution per eye and an “experimental” 120Hz refresh rate. Comparatively, Apple’s headset uses 4K micro-OLED displays and provide a total of 23 million pixels.
The Quest 3 is equipped with 3D spatial audio and a 40 percent louder volume range than the Quest 2. Meta is using Qualcomm’s Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 chip for the headset, and it offers double the GPU processing power of the Meta Quest 2. Meta says with the new chip, the Quest 3 supports “fast-action gaming, seamless full-color, and high-resolution passthrough.
