What We Think
A reviewer for the New York Times said that the metaverse demos and the wristband interface were more compelling than the hardware of the new headset. The resolution is basically the same as the Quest 2 but Meta said that the result is clearer by 25% in the middle and 50% in the edges because of the better optics. The company also claims a wider colour gamut (+30%) than on the Quest 2. (BR)
