Oculus Quest 3: everything we know so far

techradar.com:

A lot has changed for Facebook and Oculus in the past year. For starters, Facebook as a company is now called Meta, and its upcoming VR headset, dubbed Project Cambria, isn't actually a Quest device, at all. 

Project Cambria is, instead, a completely new headset IP, designed to introduce users to groundbreaking VR technology that will help Facebook – sorry, Meta – establish the earliest days of its aptly-named (but potentially overambitious) metaverse project.

We're still not certain whether those comments were made in reference to an Oculus Quest 3 headset, a newer version of the Oculus Quest 2 (which is now on shelves) or indeed this newly-announced Project Cambria, but we're nonetheless intrigued to see what new Quest products Meta may have up its sleeve – in addition to the more expensive Project Cambria – over the next year or so.

Importantly, though, Meta has decided to drop the 'Oculus' moniker for upcoming (and, we think, existing) Quest hardware.

We're not crazy about the decision, and it also means any Oculus Quest 3 headset is likely to be called the Meta Quest 3.

For simplicity, though, we'll be referring to the Oculus Quest 3 in the below guide without
