🎮 Meta Unveils Quest 3S: Affordable Mixed Reality

At Meta Connect 2024, Mark Zuckerberg introduced the Meta Quest 3S, the company’s most affordable mixed reality headset, starting at $299.99.

The Quest 3S shares many of the same features as the Quest 3, including the Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 chip, full-color passthrough vision, and Touch Plus controllers.

It even boasts a longer battery life — 2.5 hours compared to 2.2 for the Quest 3. With improved spatial audio, better support for 2D apps like YouTube and Instagram, and Meta’s Horizon OS, the Quest 3S delivers a high-quality experience at a much lower price point. Preorders are now open, and the device ships on October 15th.

🕶️ Orion: Meta’s Most Advanced AR Glasses Yet

Meta recently introduced Orion →, its first true AR glasses. Orion combines digital and physical worlds. Unlike other AR glasses, Orion looks and feels like real glasses with transparent lenses, allowing users to see others' eyes and expressions.

The glasses feature cutting-edge Micro LED projectors that display holographic content in front of your eyes. They are made from silicon carbide, a durable, lightweight material with an ultrahigh index of refraction, allowing for a wider field of view, reaching 70 degrees—larger than similar AR devices. Weighing just 98 grams, Orion is lightweight but packed with advanced technology.

With Meta AI built-in, Orion can understand the user's surroundings and assist with tasks such as offering recipe suggestions or managing calendars. However, Orion is not available for sale yet, as Meta continues to refine the technology before it reaches consumers.

☝️ Core principles haven’t changed

Telegram founder Pavel Durov clarifies the changes in the messenger's privacy policy, emphasizing that there have been no significant differences in the platform's operation.

→ He notes that back in 2018, Telegram has been providing information such as IP addresses and phone numbers to law enforcement agencies in a number of countries when it comes to dangerous criminals.

→ Pavel Durov adds that Telegram has always handed over data only after receiving properly filed requests related to serious crimes. The number of approved requests can be found through a special bot.

→ Telegram recently updated its privacy policy to eliminate confusion among users from different countries. But the messenger has not changed its principles: the company is committed to complying with laws, as long as they do not contradict the values of freedom and privacy.

According to Pavel Durov, Telegram protects activists and ordinary users from abuse by authorities and corporations, but it also prevents criminals from evading justice.
