Quick Description

MetaQuest 3 headsets are standalone head-mounted displays that support virtual reality and passthrough augmented reality experiences.

How It Works

Quest uses inside-out tracking, depth sensing, and passthrough cameras to combine real and virtual elements within your physical space. Users can see their room through the cameras, while 3D models and interfaces are layered and composited into that view. The system tracks your head movement, and controllers for interaction.

Example

Quest 3 and Quest 3S allows users to view AR overlays over a coffee maker to understand the instructions to assemble it and brew their first pot of coffee.

Why It Matters

The Meta Quest popularized virtual reality and is branching into passthrough augmented reality for games, creation, and enterprise use cases.
