This Meta prototype is a seriously upgraded Meta Quest 3 – and you can try it for yourself

Meta Quest 3.

• Meta has two new VR headsets you can try
• They're protypes that aren't usually accessible to the public
• You'll have to attend SIGGRAPH 2025 to give them a whirl

Every so often, Meta will showcase some of its prototype VR headsets – models which aren’t for public release like its fully fledged Meta Quest 3, but allow its researchers to test attributes when they’re pushed too far beyond current commercial headset limits. Like the Starburst headset, which offered a peak brightness of 20,000 nits.
