Meta Founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg unveiled the new Meta Quest 3, the company’s latest and greatest MR/VR headset — a true game changer in the worlds of mixed reality, gaming, enterprise training, learning, and beyond. More exciting news: The Meta Quest 3 is powered by the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 Platform.
