From looks alone, the leaked model looks Like the sequel to Quest 2, it borrows many of the same design elements. The head-mounted display appears to house all the tech components again, and the strap looks unchanged from what we’ve seen from the Meta before – suggesting it won’t replicate the more comfortable, easier-to-adjust battery case strap The new Pico 4 earphones .
As far as specs go, what the headset doesn’t include is more surprising than what it does. While it apparently has two RGBs, which facilitate full-color pass-through for more immersive AR, there’s no eye-tracking, which would be a big improvement over Project Cambria, Pico 4 Pro, and PlayStation VR 2.
Other than that, IPD adjustment (the distance between lenses that the user needs to adjust to the eye to make the image less blurry) seems to follow something like system to Quest 2. The image viewed inside the headset shows the same window as the Quest 2 for viewing the IPD settings. Presets are generally fine, but Pico 4 offers more gradual IPD adjustments, and we expect Quest 3 to follow suit.
Of course, all leaks should be taken with a grain of salt, but Lynch has a decent track record, so it’s worth keeping an eye on what he shares. We’ll likely hear some details about Quest 3 (or whatever it’s called) during Meta Connect 2022 to unveil the excitement for the 2023 event, but we’ll have to wait and see.
Analysis: Is Quest 3 Enough to Upgrade?
These early specifications and CAD model designs show us a The Quest 2 is a very similar device that makes it appear to be a VR headset, and it’s no more powerful or more comfortable than what we’ve got.
There are still a few details we don’t know, such as RAM, display resolution, storage space and (most importantly) price, if Meta doesn’t want to lag behind new competitors, It needs to ensure its Quest 2 successor offers multiple upgrades in these departments, Pico 4.
We just received Pico 4 for review and its improvements over Quest 2 have been It’s obvious. That’s not to say it’s without its flaws — there aren’t a few of the best VR games on the platform — but from a technical standpoint, the Meta’s competitors have impressed us.
The Quest 2 is fairly light-hearted due to its low-cost, easy-to-use design and lack of competitors on a budget, but the Quest 3 doesn’t sail easy. If the Meta is going to keep its place at the top of the VR ladder, it needs to give us a reason to prefer its hardware over the competition.
