3 bizarre Meta Quest 3 sightings we've seen out in the wild
The Meta Quest 3 has been out for about a week now — and it's pretty great actually.
Quest users now have access to an unparalleled mixed-reality experience. And this also means the most obnoxious tech bro you know will ruin the fun for everyone and bring the Quest 3 with them out in public.
Social media is slowly piling up with examples of people The Verge has dubbed "Meta glassholes," — and the videos are weird to say the least. That's because the Quest 3 has a full-color passthrough, meaning users can see their entire surroundings while wearing the headset. Comparatively, its predecessor had a muddled black-and-white passthrough mode, which didn't make it very fun to use.

That being said, for your entertainment, we've scoured the internet for our favorite and most bizarre examples of Quest 3 users out in the wild doing mundane tasks they could've done without a $500 headset.
