We tested Meta Quest 3's improved passthrough with the Quest v64 update


The Meta Quest v64 update adds USB-C mics and a casting fix, but the biggest change is being able to read phone texts on the headset.

At the same time, the Quest v64 update changed the "camera processing pipeline" to "improve color, exposure, contrast and dynamic range in passthrough." My colleague and fellow VR nerd Nick Sutrich donned his Quest 3 and recorded passthrough footage after downloading the update, which you can see in the embedded video below. We recommend looking into Pillow, a Quest app designed before Meta's lying-down update with cute experiences like stargazing, meditation, and bedtime stories.
