Zuckerberg wants the Quest 3 to be the first mixed reality headset for everyone.

After last year’s Quest Pro kind of flopped you might have thought there would be less discussion of mixed reality and the metaverse, but nope. Zuckerberg opened the Meta Connect developer conference talking about how the Quest 3 is a mixed reality headset for everyone.
