This might be the future of Meta Quest headsets.
Even the best VR headsets — like the Meta Quest 3 — get tiring to wear after a while, and also have a very limited FOV (field of view) that you just need to get used to. Now, the company’s VR division, Reality Labs, has produced new headsets that are lighter and smaller than ever, with an extremely high FOV.
These headsets are more like large goggles, but the point is that they’re supposed to be a lot less cumbersome to use for long periods of time. The Quest 3, which is an excellent VR headset, only has an FOV of 104 degrees horizontally, while normal human vision typically has an FOV of around 200-220 degrees. These prototype headsets have an FOV of 180 degrees.
That’s a really good range, and would make today’s best VR games a lot more immersive than before.
