Facebook parent Meta is reportedly planning to release its Quest 3 VR headset later this year, according to a roadmap presentation from Reality Labs to its employees.
The presentation, which was shared with The Verge, contained details on Quest 3 as well as two more headsets and Meta’s AR development projects.
Speculation of a Quest 3 release sometime soon was fuelled recently by the news that Meta is ending support for its original Quest VR headset, with the company continuing to deliver security patches until 2024.
Meta reportedly told employees Quest 3 will be “two times thinner and at least twice as powerful” as Quest 2, with a slightly more expensive price point than Quest 2’s $400. The Verge noted the headset will “prominently feature mixed reality experiences”, by using front-facing cameras to feed in video of your surroundings. Mixed reality will reportedly be one of the Quest 3’s biggest selling points.
