Earlier this week, I attended Meta Connect 2023, the company’s tenth annual developer conference. During this event, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced, among other things, the brand-new Meta Quest 3. A sequel to the Meta Quest 2 (née Oculus Quest 2), the Quest 3 is Meta’s new and upgraded XR headset that keeps an introductory price under $500.
During the launch, one word kept popping up: “accessible.” Zuckerberg said it numerous times, as did other presenters from the Meta team. In the context of this keynote, “accessibility” is being used literally: Meta wants its products to be obtainable by as many people as possible. To do that, it needs to keep a low price.
