We've been talking about the AI wars, now get set for the VR wars
Apple is expected to launch a brand-new device next week at its developer conference - a virtual reality and mixed reality headset.
Meta seems to have wanted to steal their thunder by announcing their new Quest 3 this week. It's far lighter and thinner than the v2, which makes it more comfortable to wear for extended periods of time. It has a new processor, but it won't have eye tracking which could be where Apple beats them if they're going to create a high-end product that's packed full of features. Meta says they've sold 20 million headsets so far.
