Why I Suspect Quest 3 Lite Will Support Color Passthrough Mixed Reality
Meta's next headset, rumored to be called Quest 3 Lite, is expected to support color mixed reality. Currently, most of the Quest Store apps are VR-only, with only a few offering limited mixed reality content. While the Quest 2 can support basic room-aware mixed reality, it requires manual marking of the environment and is only in black and white. The leaked Meta roadmap suggests that the Quest 3 Lite will have the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 chipset, allowing it to run VR content at the same quality as the main Quest 3. There is speculation that the Quest 3 Lite will also include mixed reality capabilities, as hinted by a Meta engineering director. While the Quest 3 has a depth projector, it is not essential for passthrough, and it is possible that the Quest 3 Lite may not include one. For more details, please visit the source linked below.
