#VACATION QUEST AUSTRALIA PURCHASE PLUS#
The Quest 2 controller’s iconic tracking ring is gone with the Quest 3 touch Plus controllers. Hopefully, it just improves on the Quest 2’s speakers, which are already surprisingly good. The speakers also appear to be moved to drive sound down rather than towards you, but it’s unclear what benefit this will provide yet, if any. Additionally, the top strap is a Y-shape rather than a straight line back, which should allow for a more secure fit. Instead of needing to grab a lens to adjust the IPD of your lenses, the Quest 3 introduces a wheel to adjust IPD, which should be a significant quality of life improvement. This not only allows for a more accurate representation of the area you’re using the Quest 3 in but it also allows for full-color video passthrough.Īside from these changes, there are a few other tweaks. This array includes dual 4MP RGB color cameras and a depth sensor in between them. In addition to a slimmer form factor, the Quest 3 also gets a brand-new camera array on the front of its visor. This is partly due to pancake optics, which allow for higher-resolution lenses in smaller spaces by layering optical film. And when you look at the two headsets side by side the Quest 3 is noticeably slimmer.

Namely, according to Meta the Quest 3 is 40% slimmer than the Quest 2.

But if you take a deeper look at the two headsets you’ll notice some massive differences. For a headset that is “reimagined and redesigned,” the Meta Quest 3 looks a lot like the Quest 2 at first glance.
