Highlights:

Meta Quest 3S features the same mixed reality experience as Quest 3, with 4.5X the resolution and color compared to Quest 2. With Meta Quest 3S, virtual objects come to life in the room around you in high-definition resolution. Immersive experiences feel real, with brilliant color and rich surround sound. With 2X the performance of Quest 2*, even complex games play smoother with crisper details.

Visuals are crisper, load times are faster and performance is smoother thanks to the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 chipset.

VR in the Classroom

The Meta Quest 3 can be effectively used in classrooms to enhance education through immersive experiences. It serves as a powerful tool for taking students on virtual field trips to historical sites, museums, and far-off locations, fostering engagement and deeper understanding. In addition, it can facilitate interactive lessons in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), allowing students to explore 3D models, conduct virtual experiments, and grasp complex concepts. The device also supports language learning, art, and creativity, enabling students to practice languages and engage in artistic activities in a virtual space. Collaborative projects, career exploration, and fostering well-being through mindfulness exercises are among the versatile applications of the Meta Quest 3 in educational settings.
