What is Meta Quest 3?

Virtual reality uses head-mounted displays and tracking of the user's head position to give a person the feeling of being inside a simulated world, and it is used for entertainment, training, research and virtual meetings. Meta Quest 3 is a standalone headset developed by Reality Labs, a division of Meta Platforms, meaning apps can run on the headset itself. Like other Meta headsets, it runs an Android-based operating system. Its cameras let a wearer see their real surroundings with virtual content blended in, a mode called mixed reality. It was unveiled on June 1, 2023.
