Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Wednesday unveiled the Quest 3 virtual reality headset. The device will start shipping Oct. 10 at a previously announced price of $499.
Zuckerberg said the new headset has 10 times the pixels of the Quest 2. The devices will support games from Microsoft Xbox. One thing clear at the event—and highly relevant for investors—is that Zuckerberg isn’t walking away from Meta’s expensive vision for the future of the virtual world. He said a coming challenge for the industry will be combining physical and digital worlds. In particular, he expects the emergence of meetings that combine people in person with people attending with holograms.
