Metalast nightnews conferenceThe Meta Quest 3 has finally been unveiled, and the Llama 2-boosted Meta AImoved into the metaverse, and the smart glasses demo was even more anticipated than the headset. After waiting for three months, the actual details were finally announced! The powerful features of the second-generation glasses also caused the audience to let out gasps of surprise during the demo. Last year, the overpriced Meta Quest Pro sold poorly, and in June, thepomegranateSet a whole new benchmark for the VR community with Vision Pro. Now, Meta has been pushed to the limit - it has to come up with something to prove that there is still a place for it in the virtual reality world of Silicon Valley. At the end of his speech, Za summarized that MR + AI + Smart Glasses, this combination is the future. In his opinion, smart glasses mean the end of the line - combining both AI and headset, the hardware problem is finally solved.
Quest 3: First MR headset unveiled, the world's first mixed reality headset, the Meta Quest 3, is finally available
On October 10, the Quest 3 will officially hit the shelves, and pre-orders are now open. starting at $499.99 (currently around Rs. 3,655) for the 128GB version and $649.99 (currently around Rs. 4,751) for the 512GB version.
VR brings an immersive experience that instantly transports us to fantastical worlds that violate the laws of physics. What MR brings us, on the other hand, is a connection to the physical world. Compared to Quest 2, Quest 3 has more than 10 times more high-fidelity, full-color passthrough pixels, which allows the physical environment to remain within our line of sight at all times.
Processor: Peak performance, from Qualcomm
The Quest 3 is the world's first device to utilize the new Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 platform, which was developed by Meta in collaboration with Snapdragon. It has twice the graphics processing power of the Quest 2. In addition, this is the first time Qualcomm has built feature detection and 6DoF tracking into a VR headset chip.
It allows headsets like the Quest 3 to shift one of the 'most intensive' tasks to a dedicated chip, not only allowing users to always stay oriented in a 3D environment, but also cutting power consumption and latency by more than half. Speaking of latency, Qualcomm says the headset now delivers full-color straight-through video with an average latency of just 12 milliseconds - as fast as the custom R1 chip in Apple's Vision Pro. As a result, the Quest 3's load times are also lightning fast, and will render incredible HD detail in immersive games.
Thinner lenses and higher resolution
In Quest 3, Meta utilizes state-of-the-art displays and optics. Compared to the Quest 2, the Quest 3's 4K+ infinite display achieves a big jump in resolution of nearly 30%. 25 pixels per degree and 1,218 pixels per inch allow the Quest 3 to achieve the best resolution in the entire Quest line. It also makes the Quest 3 so visually spectacular that when you wear it, you simply want to reach out and touch the world around you. In addition, with the next generation of Pancake technology, the Quest 3 is not only 40% thinner in optical profile than the Quest 2, but it also doesn't compromise visual immersion. In terms of comfort, the Quest 3 is also an improvement over the Quest 2. Because the profile is thinner, the fit is customizable and the weight distribution is more balanced, we get the most comfortable experience while playing games.
100+ Xbox games to play
In addition, Za also announced the good news that Xbox Cloud Gaming will be coming to Quest 3 in December, unlocking 100+ games. These include My World, Roblox, Rumble, XTADIU, and more, and will run about $16.99 (currently about Rs. 124) per month.
Moving the office into the metaverse
With Quest 3, you will be able to work in the virtual world from now on. office software such as Word, Excel, etc., can be used. Going to work will also become more 'fun'.
Next, it's time for the all-important AI moment. This year, Meta has not yet officially opened a conference on AI, are quietly releasing their open source models. First, the LLaMA big model open source in February, a stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the AI community modeling torch was completely lit, growing the 'alpaca family'. Immediately after, the segmentation model SAM, the speech model SeamlessM4T, the multimodal AI model ImageBind, Code llama, and Llama 2 were open-sourced one after another, and a solid foundation has been laid. As Za said, "this is just the beginning". The next step is to bring AI into the Meta family bucket and open up a different experience.
The release of Meta Quest 3 marks a huge leap forward in mixed reality technology, bringing the virtual world and real life closer together. The headset's high resolution, low latency, and powerful performance provide users with an unprecedented immersive experience, allowing them to switch freely between the fantasy and physical worlds. In addition, Meta Quest 3 integrates AI and smart glasses into one, building a solid foundation for the metaverse of the future. It not only redefines the standard of virtual reality, but also brings unprecedented possibilities in the fields of work, entertainment and socialization, becoming a milestone in Silicon Valley's virtual reality community. The release of this device signals that the fusion of the virtual and real worlds is no longer a far-fetched dream, but is rapidly becoming a reality, opening up a brand new digital future for us.
