The Meta Quest 3S leaks in Meta’s own PC app


Meta appears to have leaked the Meta Quest 3S, its rumored budget follow-up to last year’s Quest 3 headset, in its own Windows Meta Quest Link PC software. Spotted by UploadVR, the images posted on Reddit show a VR headset that’s visually a bit of a cross between the Quest 2 and Quest 3.

The “Quest 3S” (if it ships with that name) appears to have front-facing cameras. Instead of three pill-shaped camera cutouts like on the Quest 3, they’re clustered in two sets of three on the front cover of the device, while the strap remains the same. I could still find the image buried deep in the asset folders of the Quest Link PC app by following this path, posted by Reddit user Gary_the_mememachine:

C:\Program Files\Oculus\Support\oculus-dash\dash\data\js\assets\src\apps\dash\asset_files\experience-panels

UploadVR also points to a post on X that shows images of apparent Quest 3S accessories on the headset. Accessories have already shown up on AliExpress, all showing what looks like the same headset spotted in other leaks in the last few months.

Meta first announced plans to replace its fact-checking program with Community Notes in January, saying it would be “less prone to bias.” So far, around 200,000 potential contributors have signed up for the waitlist. Not everyone will be able to write and rate Community Notes at launch, as… Source link
