General Questions
What is a Meta Quest?
In a world where the adoption of virtual reality and extended reality solutions is rapidly growing, it’s natural to have questions. As of 2024, approximately 171 million people worldwide are using VR headsets. Many are already familiar with “Meta,” a leading technology company, and its popular “Quest” line of VR headsets.
Yet, despite its popularity, there’s still some confusion about what the “Quest” product line actually is. Meta, while now a major player in the virtual reality landscape, is still a relatively “new” name in the tech industry. If you’re unsure about the Quest series, this pillar page will answer all your questions and help you understand the product line in detail.
What does a Meta Quest do?
A Meta Quest is a virtual reality (VR) headset designed to immerse you in a 3D environment where digital content interacts seamlessly with your physical surroundings. Meta Quest headsets can be used for a variety of purposes, including:
- Gaming: Enjoy a diverse range of games, from immersive adventures to fitness apps and entertainment experiences.
- Socialising: Connect with friends and family worldwide, or join live events, shows, or group workouts.
- Productivity: Collaborate, relax, or work with colleagues in virtual spaces like Meta Horizon Workrooms.
Is Meta Quest suitable for enterprise use?
A Meta Quest for Business subscription simplifies scaling the use of Meta Quest headsets across your organisation.
It offers essential features like user, device, and app management, along with dedicated customer support, all within a secure and reliable framework.
Tip: For optimal tracking and safety, the Meta Quest should be used exclusively indoors.
Hardware and Technical Specifications
Does the Meta Quest require a PC or external device to operate?
The Meta Quest is a standalone VR headset, meaning it operates entirely on its own without the need for an external computer or gaming console.
Equipped with built-in sensors, a powerful processor, and its own display system, the Meta Quest delivers a fully immersive virtual reality experience directly from the headset.
Is the Meta Quest wireless, and how does it connect to other devices?
With Meta Quest Link, you can easily connect your Meta Quest headset to a Windows PC, unlocking access to a wide range of VR games and media that require more processing power than the standalone headset can provide. Air Link offers a wireless option, allowing you to connect your headset to your computer over Wi-Fi for a more flexible, untethered experience, ideal for users who prefer freedom of movement without cables. On the other hand, Link provides a stable, high-speed connection through a USB-C cable, ensuring minimal latency and the best performance for graphics-intensive applications.
What are the storage options available for Meta Quest?
The storage options for Meta Quest headsets vary depending on the model:
- Meta Quest 3S is available in two storage capacities: 128 GB and 256 GB.
- Meta Quest 3 offers a single storage option of 512 GB.
It's important to note that the actual available storage is slightly less than the total capacity listed, as some space is used by the system software. Additionally, the Meta Quest 3 requires software updates, including those needed before the first use, which will take up part of the storage. To check how much storage space is available on your Meta Quest headset, simply go to the "Storage" section in the Settings menu.
Business Applications
Can Meta Quest be used for virtual onboarding and training?
Yes, the Meta Quest can be used for both virtual onboarding and training.
For onboarding, it helps create a consistent experience for new employees, including remote workers, by allowing them to connect with colleagues and mentors while sharing knowledge.
For training, the Meta Quest is ideal for various scenarios, such as product walkthroughs, chemical structure analysis, and hospitality training, providing hands-on experience in a virtual environment.
The Meta Quest 3 offers improvements over its predecessor, including a 30% higher resolution and a 40% thinner optic profile for greater comfort. VR training with the Meta Quest can be more cost-effective than traditional methods, thanks to these enhanced features.
Setup and Usability
How easy is it to set up Meta Quest for a team?
The Meta Quest offers several features for team collaboration and virtual offices:
- Groups: Create groups for chats, calls, and invitations, with group leaders able to manage membership.
- Parties: In Meta Horizon Worlds, users can create parties to socialise or collaborate by adding people to their group.
- App Sharing: Up to three additional user profiles can be added to a Meta Quest, allowing multiple people to share the headset and apps.
- Microsoft Teams: Using the Mesh app on a Quest device, users can join or start Teams meetings by logging in with a corporate account.
