Meta Quest 3
What is the Meta Quest 3?
The Meta Quest 3 is a wireless virtual and mixed reality headset headset designed for immersive learning experiences, virtual socialization, and gaming. This headset allows for immersive historical experiences, virtual field trips, experiential learning with low stakes environments, and creative design through educational apps and tools.
Two Ways to Interact
Hand Tracking
The Meta Quest 3 uses sensors to track hand movements without the need for controllers. Users can navigate menus, interact with objects, and manipulate 3D content using natural gestures. The mode of control allows for intuitive and accessible learning experiences, specifically with design and spatial visualization.
Controllers
Similar to traditional gaming controllers, the Quest 3 features two seperate controllers held in each hand. Each controller is fully tracked by the headset, so they can be seen in game and are aimed like a mouse to select elements on screen. Controllers are recommended in games and feature adjustable tether straps to prevent accidents.
Mixed Reality
The Quest 3 features high resolution passthrough that blends the physical world with virtual objects produced by the headset. Users can see their surroundings and interact with overlays, tools, and characters in real-world space.
