The Meta Quest 3 has been out for about a week now — and it's pretty great actually.

Quest users now have access to an unparalleled mixed-reality experience. And this also means the most obnoxious tech bro you know will ruin the fun for everyone and bring the Quest 3 with them out in public.

Social media is slowly piling up with examples of people The Verge has dubbed "Meta glassholes," — and the videos are weird to say the least. That's because the Quest 3 has a full-color passthrough, meaning users can see their entire surroundings while wearing the headset. Comparatively, its predecessor had a muddled black-and-white passthrough mode, which didn't make it very fun to use.

Because of this upgrade, the Quest 3's AR potential has exponentially expanded to a now annoying extent.

While there's nothing wrongwith, say, ordering coffee or painting in the park with your Quest 3 headset, it does seem like an extreme example of doing something for the sake of doing it —and not because it's actually useful.
