Meta’s next-generation VR headset is revealed
Meta Quest 3 was announced by Mark Zuckerberg in an Instagram post on June 1, 2023. Meta Quest 3 features a higher resolution, a stronger performance, innovative Meta Reality technology, and a slimmer, more comfortable design. The release of such a device serves as the latest bet on the metaverse by Zuckerberg, albeit despite the company’s Reality Labs segment facing a number of challenges as it reports significant operating losses.
Apple’s entrance was thought to be a gamechanger
Following hot on the heels of Meta’s announcement, Apple's long-awaited product debut in the extended reality (XR) space also arrived in June 2023, introduced to the world as part of the company’s annual developer conference.
