Meta's New VR Headsets Draw Privacy Concerns As Users Record Strangers in Public

People are now wearing Meta's new Quest 3 VR headset in public and recording strangers, reminiscent of Google's Glassholes from a decade ago.

Users like Jay Mayo, Kukurio59, and Cix Liv have posted videos of themselves wearing the Quest 3 in public places like comic conventions and cafes.

The owner of the cafe filmed by Cix Liv said it was just a stunt and they only wore the headset briefly.

Some worry these attention-seeking behaviors could increase without guidelines from Meta on using the Quest 3 in public.

It's harder to tell when the Quest 3 is recording versus Google Glass, but the white light indicates it may be capturing video.
