Coming this fall! https://www.youtube.com/... #metaquest #meta #virtualreality #technology Ankita Chaturvedi : Very excited and proud to share the most powerful and affordable VR headset Quest 3 with the world today! — I have been toiling away on Quest 3 with the best team one could ask for! … Rangaprabhu Parthasarathy : This is going to be a big launch and I can't wait to share all the cool stuff developers are building with Presence Platform on Quest 3. It is 🔥 … Patrick Bocchicchio : Meta Quest 3 takes what made Quest 2 an inflection point for the VR industry to the next level and adds much, much more. … Bluesky: Kyle Orland / @kyleorl.bsky.social : Best thing about this is how ridiculous it makes their own Quest Pro look Mastodon: Steve Troughton-Smith / @stroughtonsmith … : Watching the Meta Quest 3 announcement trailer where they proudly list “500+” titles 💀 — It's not going to be hard for xrOS to catch up on software numbers, that's for sure... https://www.youtube.com/... Tweets: @metaquestvr : Introducing Meta Quest 3. Coming this fall. Sign up for updates at: https://www.meta.com/... Learn more at Meta Connect on September 27 - 28. #MetaQuest3 [video] @crusader3456 : Meta is coming in hot with the Quest 3. $50 Cheaper, doesn't need any other device baseline, backward compatible with over base 500 pieces of software, functions as a Windows Mixed Reality headset, making it work as a generic PC VR headset. https://twitter.com/... Jitesh Ubrani / @jiteshubrani : .@MetaQuestVR Quest 2's price drop and the upcoming launch of the Quest 3 might help turn things around for their market share https://www.idc.com/... [image] Rihard Jarc / @rihardjarc : Zuck pulling the right moves again. $META showing off the cool new Quest 3 right before $AAPL launches their overpriced VR option. Well done. Boz / @boztank : @StarFire2258 @Qualcomm The games we announced in the Gaming Showcase are all playable on both Quest 2 and 3, and we expect that to remain the norm for quite a while. Of course mixed reality and high power titles may start to target Quest 3 over time Palmer Luckey / @palmerluckey : Say what you will about Meta, but at least they can count to three. Parker Ortolani / @parkerortolani : It's hilarious to me that anyone thinks Meta has a serious leg up on Apple in the headset space. Apple's never first. But they almost always turn out to be the best. And just because it'll be expensive at launch, doesn't mean they won't work aggressively to get the price down. Matthew Yglesias / @mattyglesias : The Metaverse is so back https://twitter.com/... Juris Savostijanovs / @juris_savos : Wearing a Quest 2 headset every week can be tough on your eyes and head, and I wear it ~35 hours a week 😱 So excited to hear that the Quest 3 will have a slimmer profile and improved comfort! #Quest3 #Meta https://twitter.com/... Nate Chan / @nathanwchan : Meta announces Quest 3 before WWDC: “they're just trying to get ahead of WWDC before Apple sucks all of the air out of the room” Meta announces Quest 3 after WWDC: “they should've announced before WWDC” Meta can't win in the PR department. Their only hope is a better product. https://twitter.com/... Carlos DP / @the_carlosdp : Let me tell ya, this + Apple's headset might actually be good enough at this point to start reaching mass market with the right apps... Especially since reports for both are that the passthrough is actually really good now https://twitter.com/... Rihard Jarc / @rihardjarc : @boztank @Qualcomm Congrats Boz. Lighter, thinner, faster and still affordable! Brian Tong / @briantong : The @MetaQuestVR 3 JUST got announced today. Earlier than their normal announcement timing. The Apple effect is REAL... - 40% slimmer - Lighter - Next-gen @Snapdragon XR chip - 128 GB for $499 - More details at Sept. 27th Event https://www.youtube.com/... [image] Mark Hachman / @markhachman : Meta needs some positive press before the Apple VR headset sucks the air out of the room next week. https://www.pcworld.com/... Charles Arthur / @charlesarthur : Always amazes me when people think an announcement means the product is on sale now. Meta is sacrificing sales now (why buy a Quest 2 now when a 3 is on the way? Classic bit of Osborneing) in the hope of not getting submerged by whatever Apple does. [image] Boz / @boztank : It's our first mass market device with Meta Reality, our custom solution that goes beyond mixed reality as we know it today. We expand on this with semantic understanding of the space and objects within so you can interact with this blended environment seamlessly [image] Boz / @boztank : So much news today! Quest 3 is official—our most powerful headset yet with pancake optics for a slimmer profile, improved comfort, a next-gen @Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset for over 2x the graphical performance, and better resolution and display [video] Cristiano R. Amon / @cristianoamon : Immensely proud to announce the next step in our long-standing #VR collaboration with @Meta to create the next generation of MR and VR together. I can't wait for you to experience the upcoming Meta Quest 3, powered by our most powerful @Qualcomm #XR chipset to date.... https://twitter.com/... Callum Hurley / @multicallum : Two interesting takeaways with Quest 3 launching at £499 and Quest 2 dropping (back) down to £299: 1. Quest now provides 3 price tiers (Q2 299, Q3 499, QPro 999) 2. Quest 3 is only £100 more than 2x Quest 2's. Will it actually be worth nearly 2x Quest 2's though? @benz145 : Looks like Quest 3 will indeed bring Quest Pro's great lenses which will be a big upgrade by itself, but they're also teasing their ‘highest resolution display yet’, so it could be an even bigger visual upgrade. https://twitter.com/... Paul Katsen / @pavtalk : Major news! Quest 3 is coming this year. It's a beefier machine that unlocks a new level of quality VR experiences. And its AR support is quite good - so you'll soon see popular VR experiences expand to more facets of your life. All for $499 from Meta. Exciting! https://twitter.com/... @rayno : The Quest 3. For when your #VR #Headache isn't big enough. Meta Quest 3 Launches Later This Year + Lower Prices & Improvements for Quest 2 https://www.meta.com/... @thrilluwu : Quest 3 actually looks fantastic. I've had quite a few people say that they have tested/ have been testing it and they have amazing things to say about it. $499 seems like a good place to place it at. Particularly the passthrough and hand tracking. @develongevity : Quest 2 $299 Quest 3 $499 PSVR2 $550 Apple Reality >$2000 2024 is going to be an interesting market. Robert Aldridge / @robertjala : In addition to the quest 3 this is also exciting. Quest 2 has gotten so incredibly better since launch. [image] Robert Aldridge / @robertjala : The quest 3 announcement is awesome glad everyone else can finally see it. The new chip is going to allow us create much larger and detailed worlds. Wait until you see what we are doing post Heartlands. Luna / @lunayian : Meta Quest 3 behind the scenes - via Zuck's Instagram [video] Prabhu / @technogoy : This is going to be a huge launch with some awesome content. Super excited for what developers are building with #PresencePlatform for #MetaQuest3. #MetaQuest @MetaQuestVR https://www.meta.com/... @jetscott : Quest 3 is smol [image] Luke Miani / @lukemiani : No reason behind this choice I'm sure https://twitter.com/... @mikeisaac : sorta reminds me of maelstrom gang faces in cyberpunk... [image] @mikeisaac : new meta quest headset teaser on Zuckerberg's Insta — just days before apple is expected to reveal their own thing (whatever it might be).... https://www.instagram.com/... [image] @vrpill : Meta killing it with this announcement!! “In an upcoming software update, we're updating the Quest 2 and Quest Pro GPU and CPU. Quest 2 and Pro will see an up-to 26% CPU performance increase with an up-to 19% GPU speed increase for Quest 2 and 11% for Quest Pro.” https://twitter.com/... Nick Turner / @newsynick : Meta announces its latest Quest mixed-reality headset just two business days before Apple is expected to debut its (far more expensive) version https://www.bloomberg.com/... Joanna Stern / @joannastern : And as expected, Meta is front running Apple's Monday announcement by announcing Meta Quest 3, coming in the fall for $500 https://about.fb.com/... Benedict Evans / @benedictevans : Meta spoiler ahead of Monday... https://www.meta.com/... @jetscott : Meta dropping Quest 2 price back to $300 on June 4 ($350 for the 256GB version). That makes it a $200 jump to the Quest 3. Also, Meta promising a processing bump to Quest 2 and Quest Pro in a coming update - 26% CPU and 19% GPU possible increase for Quest 2? (??) Ben Bajarin / @benbajarin : Very curious to try this and contrast with Apple's (first gen). $499 is aggressive, but still don't see that increasing volumes yet (market immature still). For Apple, they will need to get the price down to the $699-$899 range for it to have any chance at mass market volume. https://twitter.com/... Brandon Jones / @tojiro : This looks like a great upgrade over the Quest 2, and it's announcement is obviously timed to steal some of Apple's thunder, but the product it's really upstaging is the Quest Pro. Why spend twice as much for a slower processor and worse passthrough? https://www.youtube.com/... @jetscott : $499, new Qualcomm chip (as expected), smaller and lighter, depth sensor, color passthrough cameras, similar app catalog. Controllers are smaller with seemingly better haptics. @jetscott : Quest 3. The VR headsets are coming fast and furious now. https://www.cnet.com/... Leo Gebbie / @leogebbie : There we go: Quest 3 is official, and will be starting from $499 later this year. Heavy focus on passthrough mixed reality, which is increasingly table stakes for VR devices (and the exact direction Apple is expected to take with its headset) https://www.meta.com/...
