Unveiling the Powerhouse: The Meta Quest 3Â
Do you remember that Meta Quest 2 headset collecting dust in your closet? You know that relic from nearly three years ago that cost you a small fortune? Well, brace yourself, because we’re taking you on a wild ride through Meta’s latest attempt to separate you from your hard-earned cash – the beautifully new oculus Quest 3.
So, what’s this bad boy got in store for you? It boasts a next-gen Qualcomm chipset. Yeah, we know you have no clue what that means, but it sounds impressive, right? Basically, it’s like trading in your old, tired mule for a shiny, new racehorse. In this case, the racehorse doubles the graphics performance of your old mule.
Now, you might be worried that your collection of Quest 2 games, as outdated as your high school mixtapes, won’t work on the swanky Quest 3. But fear not, Meta’s got your back! Quest 3 is backwards compatible with Quest 2 games. A win-win situation: you get to enjoy the nostalgia of the past while savoring the tantalizing future.
Quest 2 and Pro Get a Facelift: Software Updates in the Quest FamilyÂ
The Quest 3’s design is thinner and more attractive, like your ex who hit the gym post-breakup. And for your gripping pleasure, they’ve redesigned the Touch Plus controllers. It’s nice to see Meta knows the importance of staying in touch. Literally.
Now, to the price tag, the part where your bank account starts screaming for mercy. The Quest 3 is set to launch at $499.99. It’s a bit steep, especially when you remember the price hike of the Quest 2 last year. Oh, by the way, they’ve now slashed prices on the Quest 2 models. Better late than never, eh?
And speaking of the Quest 2, it’s getting a software update. It’s like giving your old dog new tricks, or at least, attempting to. Expect up to 26% CPU and 19% GPU performance increase. The Quest Pro isn’t forgotten either, with a promised boost of up to 11%. Not bad for a pensioner of a headset, right?
The Unseen, the Unknown, and the Unveiled: A New Oculus Quest 3
The real kicker? Meta hasn’t revealed too much about Quest 3 yet. It’s like they’re trying to build suspense or something. They’ll be spilling more beans at the Connect conference on September 27, teasing us like the cliffhanger of a mediocre Netflix series.
Apple is rumored to announce its own mixed-reality headset at WWDC 2023. Just when you thought things couldn’t get more exciting. You’re on the front line in the war for VR supremacy. So buckle up, folks. A VR world is gonna be a wild ride, where reality is just an inconvenience. Just hope the Meta Quest 3 doesn’t end up being just another expensive paperweight.
