Meta announced it's reducing age requirements for Quest users, bringing the previous 13+ minimum down to 10+. The company says the policy change will come alongside new parent-managed accounts for Quest 2 and the upcoming Quest which the company says will help keep preteens safe. As anyone who has dipped their toes into social VR apps such as Rec Room or VRChat can probably attest, young kids are broadly already using VR headsets.

Our new study, published today in Nature Communications, challenges the wisdom of this approach. With the help of virtual reality (VR), we have revealed previously hidden aspects of perception that happen during a simple everyday action - walking.

What might be more of a surprise is that he made a video explaining exactly why he thinks Meta's Quest 3 headset is superior. As CNBC puts it, "his decision to post a video about [it] shows the increasing competition between Apple and Meta." There's really no competition when it comes to price, he explains in the video posted to Instagram Tuesday.
