iFixit | Meta Quest 3 Teardown: What Are You Sacrificing for Savings? @iFixitYourself | Uploaded 1 year ago | Updated 6 hours ago
The “year of virtual reality” shaped up to be “the run up to mixed reality” and today we’ve got Meta’s mid-range XR competitor on our teardown table: the Meta Quest 3. A key feature that was missing on the Quest Pro, the depth sensor or time of flight sensor, is front and center on the Quest 3. And by adopting the Quest Pro’s pancake lenses, the Quest 3 presents a substantially thinner profile when compared to the Quest 2, and yet manages to weigh 10g more than its predecessor.
Thanks to our partners on this teardown Creative Electron and Evident Scientific. Without them we couldn’t bring you these awesome X-Rays and Microscope shots.
