One of my favorite immersive videos yet. A must-watch for any Apple Vision Pro owner!

$216 is obviously a great price for Quest 3S refurbished, but $360 for the 512GB Quest 3 refurbished is an even better deal!

We continue to strongly recommend the proper Quest 3 over Quest 3S, and with this deal you can get it for only $60 more than the regular 3S price.

Interesting that this comes just as worlds get moved out of the app Library in Horizon OS v83 PTC.

Perhaps a response to Android XR.

The evolved Navigator has a new Worlds tab for Horizon Worlds destinations, and you'll no longer see worlds in your app Library at all.

That will make a lot of Quest owners happy.
Horizon OS v83 PTC includes the evolved Quest system UI that Meta teased at Connect, as well as scene understanding for slanted ceilings and inner walls.
