 Hello, everyone. Welcome back to another Meta video. In this one, I want to talk to you about the Quest 3. That's right. The people over at Meta have announced today that not only is it a real thing, they've given us the pricing, they've given us some of the specs, and when you can actually pre-order it today, if you're so inclined. And also, I'm going to take a quick comparison to the Apple Vision Pro. Now, not everything is known about both of these, but enough is known that we can do a little bit of a looksie-loo and a comparison. So anyways, with that out of the way, let's get into the specs. Let's get into the pricing. Let's go. Alright, so let's just shoot. Let's just start quick here. The pricing, everybody wants to know about. The price is $499.99 US for the Quest 3 or the Meta Quest 3. Now, compare that with the Apple Vision Pro, which is not a little bit more, but it's actually seven times more, literally 700% more. It's $3,500 USD. So while we're doing a comparison and we're talking about the Meta Quest 3 versus the Apple Vision Pro, do keep in mind that this isn't really apples to apples. They're sort of kind of, you know, one's more affordable and whereas some are maybe more, where the Apple Vision Pro is maybe more high-end and even possibly more like, you know, professional-based versus, you know, a gaming type thing. So keep that in the back of your head. Alright, so according to Meta, and this is also reported on MacRumors.com, but the Quest 3 has been redesigned from the inside out and apparently it boasts a 4K plus infinite display resolution. Now again, we haven't seen this, but that's what they're claiming. The two displays will offer a 2064 by 2208 resolution per eye. So keep that in mind that this is per eye and it's also going to have a 120 Hertz refresh rate. So it's going to be a pretty damn quick updating or quick refresh rate, so to speak. So again, on paper sounds pretty damn good. When we compare that to Apple, the Apple is using a 4K micro OLED or OLED display. So a little different and they have a total of 23 million pixels. Now how does that compare to the 2064 by 2208 resolution per eye? I am not sure, but there you go. Those are the reported numbers. Let's go and dig in a little bit under the hood. So in terms of the things you'll see in the Quest 3, it comes with 3D spatial audio and very interestingly, they've gone ahead and increased the volume range by 40% compared to the Quest 2. I guess a few people were noting that the Quest 2, while it looked great, the audio just wasn't quite there. It was too quiet and they wanted it a little louder and the Meta people have heard you and they have gone ahead and responded. A little further under the hood, you'll note that the Quest 3 is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 chip. So it is doubling, not a little bit of an increase, but it's apparently doubling the GPU processing power compared to the Quest 2. That is a very big jump assuming that it measures out when it releases. This is going to end up with us having faster gaming, seamless full color, and high resolution pass through. It's going to be pretty wild if it meets these specs. In terms of the augmented reality side of things, there's two RGB cameras and they're claiming that they are 10 times sharper than the Quest 2. That is a hell of a claim, but they're going to be bringing the augmented reality experience to life according to Meta. Again, this is all being claimed, but they have a pretty good track record of hitting their claims. Here we go. Apparently you'll be able to manipulate virtual objects in your physical space and it's very similar to what the Vision Pro offers. If you watched any of the Vision Pro demos, you'll see people moving their hands around and opening things and clicking their fingers and doing all sorts of crazy things. If this can be matched or even come close on the Quest 3, that'll be a hell of a thing. We'll definitely want to keep our eyes on that. In terms of the physical side of things and the design, the Quest 3 is going to weigh in at 515 grams, which I got a note here is a little heavier than its predecessor. It isn't getting lighter, it's getting heavier. That is something you definitely want to keep in mind. That said, they're using a slimmer optic profile and they've got new pancake lenses. That's right, pancake lenses. They're promising it to be a little bit more comfortable. You can also adjust the facial interface for an improved field of view so you'll get 110 degrees horizontal and 96 degrees vertically. I mean, it's a mixed bag if you ask me, but the fact that it's a little heavier does cause me a small concern. In terms of the controllers, the Quest 3 introduces something called Touch Plus controllers. Again, I haven't seen them yet, but they're supposed to act like a natural extension of your hands and they provide tactile haptic feedback, standard boilerplate stuff. That said, with computer vision and machine learning sensors, these hand gestures are supposed to be tracked effortlessly. And if you compare that, again, like you've watched some of the Apple Vision Pro demos, if they're even close to that, this could be really, really interesting. Also in terms of battery life on a single charge, the Quest 3 is expected to last up to 2.2 hours and the Apple Vision Pro, on the other hand, has 2 hours of battery life, but it also requires an external battery in order to run all day. So just something to keep in the back of your head. Finally, a couple other things here. The notable features you should probably keep in mind is this is going to have 8 gigabytes of RAM. It's going to be Wi-Fi 6E compatible and it's going to have an LED indicator for camera usage so you'll kind of know what you're doing while you're on the camera. Also, there will be the ability to connect to a PC part of me with the MetaQuest link cable and air link. Now, again, does that mean you're going to be able to play Steam games and all that stuff? Maybe. I don't know. Let me know in the comments below what you think. Lastly, it comes with 128 gigs of byte of storage and it's priced at $499. And if you really want this and you think it's a good deal, you can even pre-order it starting today. I'm not paid to do that. Buy it. Don't buy it. I'll put a link in the description below. It doesn't matter to me, but there you go, guys. That is the details. I kind of look forward to seeing what this Quest 3 comes out with. I kind of look forward to comparing it to the Apple Vision Pro. I mean, again, it's not Apple's the Apple's, but if you can get a really good experience for 500 bucks and it's got a gaming feel to it, this might be the way to go. Let me know in the comments below. Thanks for watching.
