Turn the world into your playground
The Meta Quest 3S Mixed Reality VR Headset is an accessible entry-level powerhouse from Meta’s Reality Labs, delivering immersive virtual and augmented experiences powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 processor and 8GB of RAM for twice the graphical performance of the Quest 2, all in a fully standalone design without needing a PC or cables. Equipped with dual LCD displays offering 1832 x 1920 resolution per eye and a 97-degree horizontal field of view via efficient Fresnel lenses, it provides clear, vibrant visuals with color passthrough from dual RGB tracking cameras that enable seamless mixed reality overlays—like virtual workspaces on your desk or interactive games in your living room—with depth sensing for realistic environmental interactions. Measuring slightly thicker than the premium Quest 3 at 40% slimmer overall than the Quest 2, its ergonomic halo strap with adjustable IPD (53-75mm) and balanced 515-gram weight ensures comfort during extended sessions up to 2.5 hours on the 4,324mAh battery, enhanced by integrated spatial audio speakers with head tracking for immersive 3D sound. The included ring-free Touch Plus controllers feature TruTouch haptics and self-tracking for precise gesture controls, complemented by optional hand-tracking, while the Meta Horizon OS supports over 500 titles including exclusives like Batman: Arkham Shadow (bundled until April 2025), Beat Saber, and Asgard’s Wrath 2, plus wireless PC streaming via Air Link, Xbox Cloud Gaming, and innovative “Portals” for fluid app transitions.
