In today’s time, when every company is trying to make each of its products the best, even giants like Apple and Meta are not far behind. The recently launched Apple Vision Pro and Meta Quest 3 are the latest products from both the companies, which are working in the field of virtual and mixed reality. Both these products are great in their own ways and bring many benefits to the consumers.
Advantages of Meta Quest 3
First we’ll take a look at the benefits of Meta Quest 3. The first and foremost advantage is its low weight and comfortable fitting. The Quest 3 is only 515 grams, while the Apple Vision Pro can range from 600 to 650 grams. This small weight difference is quite noticeable when used over a long period of time. The Quest 3’s facial interface design is also much simpler than the Vision Pro’s.
Another advantage is the Quest 3’s controllers. It also comes with controllers that provide an immersive gaming experience. This is a much more precise input mechanism than hand tracking. In Vision Pro, Apple has used eye tracking for selection, which seems a bit strange at first.
The third advantage is the immersive gaming experience. Since Meta already runs its own Quest platform, it has a larger game library and mixed reality games. Plus, these games take you right inside the game and not just show the game on a big virtual screen.
The fourth advantage is the Quest 3’s open operating system. You can also download software on the Quest 3 through sources other than Meta’s app store, such as SideQuest. You can also download apps like PlayStation Remote Play and Microsoft Remote Desktop.
Advantages of Apple Vision Pro
Now we will take a look at the advantages of Apple Vision Pro. The first advantage is its stunning high-resolution micro-LED displays that are crystal clear and 4K quality. Because of these, the viewing experience on Vision Pro is much better.
Another advantage is the integration of Apple ecosystem and VisionOS. Your iCloud photos and messages will all be visible here. It’s also easy to bring Mac Windows to Vision Pro. Plus, you’ll also get to experience AirDrop, background apps, iPad apps, etc.
The third advantage is excellent hand tracking. Quest does too but Apple’s is much more precise. Additionally, VisionOS provides greater flexibility in dragging and resizing windows.
The fourth advantage is special sound. The surround sound experience of the Vision Pro is much better than that of the Quest 3. The fifth advantage is the pass-through quality which is much better than Quest.
Final thoughts
Despite all these pros and cons, both the Vision Pro and Quest 3 are great products. Although the Quest costs much less, the Vision Pro has an even better display and graphics quality. You have to decide which product you need. But of course, we can expect these technologies to develop further in the future.
