[[Quest 3]] presents itself as a next-generation [[VR headset]], particularly in terms of hardware. Priced at $500, it is a substantial improvement over its predecessor, [[Quest 2]], which was priced at $300. The Quest 3 boasts impressive hardware, comparable to a cheaper version of the [[Quest Pro]], albeit without [[eye-tracking]] and [[face-tracking]] features. Despite these omissions, Quest 3 remains a favorable choice even if priced similarly to the Quest Pro.
