Here’s the thing: the Quest 3S is supposed to be the budget model. Like the Quest 2’s younger, cooler sibling who still eats ramen. Eye tracking costs money. Meta has to shove tiny infrared cameras inside the lenses. That’s not cheap.
Quest 3S Is Out Today, A New Phase For VR & Mixed Reality
So, will it have eye tracking? Or will it just be a Quest 3 with a slightly faster chip? Rumors say “maybe yes, maybe no.” Classic Meta. They love keeping us guessing like a toddler with a toy they don’t want to share.
The Elephant in the Room: Privacy
Let’s address the giant, glowing “Big Brother” sign. Eye tracking is a privacy nightmare. Meta knows where you look. They know if you stare at the virtual pizza or the virtual waitress’s cleavage. Do we trust them with that data? Ha.
But honestly? We already let our phones track our location. We give apps access to our camera roll. A little eye tracking for better graphics and realistic avatars? I’ll take the risk. Just... don’t sell my gaze to an ad agency, Mark. Please.
