Windows on ARM PCs have recently taken a significant leap forward with the introduction of Mixed Reality Link compatibility with Meta Quest headsets. Snapdradon X-powered systems can now utilize local Windows PCs in a virtual reality environment, owing to the newly supported Mixed Reality Link
Mixed Reality Link Overview
Mixed Reality Link, an application that is currently in its preview phase, allows users to connect up to three virtual monitors to their Meta Quest 3 and Meta Quest 3S headsets. Users can opt for either wired or wireless connections to create a multi-monitor setup that is only visible within the virtual reality headset. A standout feature of Mixed Reality Link is its capability to enable access to a Cloud PC from within the VR experience, broadening the horizons of what users can achieve with these futuristic headsets.
While this feature was previously restricted to Intel and AMD-powered PCs, a recent post on Reddit by a user named "Nicalay2" proudly showcased the new capacity for a Surface Pro equipped with a Snapdragon X chip to establish a successful connection, suggesting broader accessibility.
Meta Quest 3S: Features and Editions
The Meta Quest 3S headset targets the VR market with an impressive combination of powerful chipset technology and next-generation controllers at a competitive price point of $299. While it comes with trade-offs in terms of display and field of view compared to its predecessor, the Quest 3, it offers value-focused users a viable entry into the VR world.
An intriguing offer comes in the form of the Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition, which provides additional value through its bundle package. This edition comes with an Elite Strap, an Xbox controller, and a complimentary three-month subscription to Game Pass Ultimate, enhancing the VR and gaming experience for users. Although it comes at an added cost in comparison to the standard Quest 3S, the bundle represents a compelling offer for gaming enthusiasts and those looking to enhance their VR setup.
