Meta Quest 3 VR Headset

The Meta Quest 3 arrives in a deceptively small, rather spartan looking box. I don’t mind because I’d rather not spend extra money on fancy packaging. The contents include the headset itself, a pre-installed foam facial interface, two Touch Plus controllers with pre-installed wrist straps and AA batteries, an 18W power adapter, and a USB Type-C charging cable for the headset itself. The first thought that came to mind when unboxing the Quest 3 was just how similar it looked to the Quest 2. Meta claims that the Quest 3 is 40% slimmer, but if you look at the fine print you’ll see that the comparison excludes the facial interface, which is thicker on the Quest 3. There’s no weight savings either, unfortunately; I weighed my Quest 3 visor without the strap at 459 grams, which is actually three grams heavier than a strapless 2. The Quest 3 also lets you adjust the depth of the facial interface, or how far from your face the screen is. I simply set it to the shortest depth to get the maximum 110-degree FOV, but if you wear glasses for VR you’ll appreciate the extra space.
