Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

CTOnews.com reported on May 29 that the Meta Quest 2 VR has been on the market for nearly three years and was called Oculus Quest 2 when it was first launched. Although Meta launched the Quest Pro last year, it is not the real successor to Quest 2, but a $1499.99 hybrid reality display (CTOnews.com Note: about 10605 yuan currently), mainly aimed at high-end VR users and workplace collaboration. According to reports, Meta is developing Quest 3, and someone claims to have personally experienced a prototype.

According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, he got an early version of Meta Quest 3. He said the prototype "feels much lighter and thinner than the Quest 2" in appearance. The design of the head display has also changed: the front is no longer a monotonous gray, but there are three vertical pill-shaped sensor areas. The left and right pills contain a color video perspective camera (which allows users to see the world around them) and an ordinary camera, respectively. This means it has two color cameras, while the Quest 2 has only non-color cameras. The middle pill contains a depth sensor for the first time in the Quest series.

The video perspective hardware of the Quest 3 prototype also brings a great improvement to the AR mode of the device. It "presents a more accurate color and provides an almost realistic rendering of the real world," Gurman reported. The overall performance is also better, probably due to the use of a custom chip first announced by Qualcomm in 2022.

The current starting price for Meta Quest 2 is $399, while Gurman says Meta may sell Quest 3 at a higher price. However, if the price increase is not too much, Gurman thinks it "may cause some sensation in this year's holiday season."

It is reported that Meta will release Quest 3 in October, and we may see this headline trailer at the company's annual Meta Quest Gaming Showcase event later this week. The live broadcast will begin at 10:00 Pacific time on June 1, when many new and unannounced Quest VR games will be featured.
