Meta held its Annual Connect event recently and Mark Zuckerburg announced numerous interesting releases. The highlight of the event was the new Meta Quest 3. It was revealed earlier in June and many people have been awaiting the release of this exciting innovation.
Under the hood, the VR headset features a powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 processor. The Meta Quest 3 is lighter and slimmer compared to its predecessor. You will find color cameras placed at the front to help you with tracking. These cameras will come in handy once you infuse the virtual world with the physical world.
Meta launches the VR headset having a pancake-styled lens display. It will enhance the visual experience by around 30%. The straps of this headset are softer, which means you’ll be able to keep on playing and experiencing the virtual world without needing to worry about head pains.
