Meta's New $500 Quest 3 VR Headset Offers Sharper Visuals, Lighter Design, and Mixed Reality Features

The $500 Meta Quest 3 brings upgrades like sharper screens, a lighter design, and mixed reality cameras to make VR more accessible.

It's more expensive than the $299 Quest 2, but offers better visuals and performance for VR veterans.

The Quest 3's mixed reality view lets you see the real world while in VR, making it easier to multitask.

Battery life is unchanged from the Quest 2 at 2-3 hours, but you can use it while charging.

While not as advanced as Apple's Vision Pro, the Quest 3's mixed reality features make it a better long-term headset than the PSVR 2.
