Meta has unveiled its Quest 3 virtual reality headset, touting a significant leap in graphical power and a new focus on 'mixed reality'. The device, available in a 512GB white configuration, merges virtual elements with the user's actual surroundings.

The headset utilizes dual RGB cameras for a full-color view of the real world, alongside its virtual capabilities. A new XR2 Gen 2 Snapdragon processor reportedly doubles graphics performance, enabling the overlay of digital objects and screens onto the user's environment.

Meta highlights enhanced privacy features, including data encryption and supervision tools, aimed at family use. The device's design prioritizes comfort with a thinner profile and balanced weight distribution. Prices were announced to start at $499.99.
