Meta Quest

Standalone virtual reality

Meta Quest is a line of virtual reality headsets made by Meta (formerly Facebook).

The devices are standalone units that don't require connection to a computer or console: I picked up a Meta Quest to try VR gaming.

Originally branded as Oculus Quest before Meta's 2021 rebrand, the headsets are used for gaming, fitness apps, and social experiences in virtual environments.
