Meta: messy leaks on the Quest 3 and Cambria specs, as well as on v37 (moving to the home, new keyboards, etc.)
This is the fair leaks on the products and services of Meta. In a few hours, several pieces of information fell on the firm’s VR technologies in Zuckerberg, starting with the specifications of the VR headsets. Cambria and Meta Quest 3. Thus, the very informed Ming Chi Kuo affirms that the Meta Cambria, more commonly known as the “Quest for the pros”, will be available for sale during the second quarter of this year and should offer 2.48-inch Mini-LED screens with a resolution of 2160 × 2160 per eye (more than what was announced for the PSVR 2). Meta would expect sales of 3 million units in the first year.
Meta Cambria (Q2 2022) will include MiniLED screens. Targeting to sell 3 million HMD units in its first year.
Quest 3 is planned to include uOLED. Meta signed deal to build production lines for these displays with Changxin Technology
Connect 2023 announce / release soon after

As for the Meta Quest 3, the commercial launch is scheduled for next year, this time with uOLED (Micro Oled) screens that some sources announce at 2500 x 2500 per eye (i.e. a hybrid format very close to the 3.5 K in number of pixels displayed). The screens of the Meta Quest 3 are said to be manufactured by Changxin Technology. Meta would do everything possible to equip the Meta Quest 3 with a house processor equipped with a boosted GPU, but at worst, the device would have to integrate Qualcomm’s XR3 (between 2 and 3 Tflops expected).

Finally, we learn a lot more about the next update of the OS of the Meta Quest, and once again, the novelties are important. It will thus be possible to move freely in your Home zone (finally!), To watch Oculus TV VR videos with several avatars or to start multiplayer games directly, always via Home. Two new keyboards will be supported for VR teleworking enthusiasts, the Logitech MX Keys and the Apple Magic Keyboard (!). It will also be possible to draw an area a Gardian by simply “pulling” the walls, ceiling and floor, which will undoubtedly be faster than drawing by hand an area all around you. Finally, a new and mysterious Social Nux service is emerging.
