What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Track; not yet

Why
Quest 3 established color-passthrough MR as the consumer default and remains the volume leader, but it is a closed consumer hardware product with no direct pragma.vision engineering dependency — informational tracking, not adoption.
Next
Keep Meta Quest 3 as the reference-class mainstream MR entry the register benchmarks other VR/MR devices (Valve Steam Frame, Samsung Galaxy XR — both already in the register) against; monitor Quest-line successor cadence (Quest 3S uptake, rumored Quest 4) and any resumption of the paused Horizon OS third-party licensing program for a follow-up register update.
