The Meta Quest 3 is the latest and greatest VR headset from Meta, and it’s packed with new features and improvements. If you’re lucky enough to have gotten your hands on one, you’re probably eager to get it set up and start exploring the metaverse.
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to set up your Meta Quest 3:
-
- Unbox your headset and accessories. Inside the box, you’ll find your headset, two controllers, a charging cable, and a glasses spacer.
- Download the Meta Quest mobile app on your smartphone. The Meta Quest app is available on the App Store and Google Play.
