How is it better than the Quest 2?

How does it compare with the Quest Pro?

The Quest 3 has newer pancake optics and color passthrough at a lower cost. The Quest Pro adds eye and face tracking and a different controller design for professional use.

What comes in the box?

The headset, two Touch Plus controllers, a charging cable and a power adapter. Batteries for the controllers are included.

Can I wear glasses with it?

Yes, the headset has room for glasses, and you can also buy prescription lens inserts. Adjust the lens spacing for a sharper image.

Does it work with SteamVR games?

Yes, through Meta Quest Link or Air Link with a compatible PC. Standalone games do not need a PC.
