Meta Quest 3 Lite: Cheaper VR Headset Option Lacks AR Features of Upcoming Quest 3
- Rumored Meta Quest 3 Lite looks similar to Quest 3 but without passthrough cameras, suggesting no AR features or hand tracking to cut costs
- Could use a more affordable processor to further reduce price below $499 Quest 3
- Comes after Meta teased a cheaper headset was in the works to complement the Quest 3
- Still not clear when the Quest 3 Lite could launch or exact price, though it would expand Meta's affordability edge over $3,499 Apple Vision Pro
- Removing passthrough cameras would be a surprise given Meta claims they'll be a "standard feature" in future headsets
