Starting with the design, Gurman says the Quest 3 should be smaller and lighter than the Quest 2 with fabric instead of plastic on the sides, three new vertical front lines that hide the positioning sensors in the environment and the cameras, both in color.
On the front is a depth sensor that automatically identifies walls, but unfortunately the Quest 3 lacks face and eye tracking.
In the lower area we should find two motion tracking cameras, controls for adjusting volume and pupillary distance. The power button is on the side next to the USB-C port, while the screens should be the same type as the Quest 2, but with higher resolution.
The 2nd generation Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 processor should offer higher performance for the Quest 3, which made the controls and interface respond faster in Gurman’s tests with games, video viewing and other software applications.
Finally, Guman adds that the Quest 3’s controllers don’t have rings like the Quest 2’s and neither do the Quest Pro’s cameras, which means tracking hand movements can be less accurate, though this can be addressed with other aspects. .
Overall, the analyst says he was impressed with the Meta headset compared to the Quest 2. The expected price for the new model that should be launched in October is 400 to 500 dollars or about R$ 2,000 to R$ 2,500 in direct conversion.
