Meta Adds 3D Movies to Quest 3 and 3S Headsets
Meta has introduced a library of 3D films for its Quest 3 and 3S headsets, expanding the capabilities of its VR devices and offering new content options for users.
Meta has introduced a library of 3D films for its Quest 3 and 3S headsets, a feature that was previously unavailable on these devices. This addition comes alongside a new Disney+ app that includes 3D content and environments. The feature allows users to watch 3D movies at home, a capability that had been limited before the rise of VR headsets. According to Engadget, the 3D films available on Disney+ include titles from Marvel, Pixar, and recent Star Wars releases, with the high framerate 3D versions of the Avatar films also accessible on the Quest 3. This marks a significant step for Meta in expanding the content library available on its VR headsets (Engadget, 1). [1]
Users can access the 3D films by selecting a title on Disney+ and confirming that it has 3D support. The opening scenes of Guardians of the Galaxy and the car chase from Black Panther were noted to look great on the Quest 3, offering a sense of depth not typically found on 2D screens. The Quest 3 supports both Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, although the effectiveness of these features is limited due to the headset's LCD screens and weak speakers. This highlights some of the technical constraints that still exist in the current VR headset design (Engadget, 1). [1]
Meta's Horizon OS has been updated to more closely resemble Apple's visionOS, but it still lacks the flexibility of Apple's system when it comes to video playback. On the Quest 3, users cannot easily rescale the Disney+ window to fit their preferences, and the only way to achieve a more immersive experience is by playing 3D videos within the cinema environment. This limitation affects the overall user experience, especially for those who prefer a more flexible and immersive setup. Despite these constraints, the introduction of 3D movies is a notable addition for existing Quest 3 and 3S owners (Engadget, 1). [1]

Disney has made its library of 3D films available on Disney+ (actual titles depend on your region), including the entire run of Marvel, Pixar and recent Star Wars titles. Subscribers just need to select a title, confirm it has 3D support and hit play. According to Engadget, the opening scenes of Guardians of the Galaxy and the car chase from Black Panther all looked great on the Quest 3, with a wonderful sense of depth that you don't get from watching them on 2D screens (1).

Meta has updated its Horizon OS to more closely resemble Apple's visionOS over the years, but unfortunately, it's not nearly as flexible when it comes to playing video. According to Engadget, you can't just rescale the Disney+ window on the fly to make it larger — it has to fit into a specific spot in Meta's OS (1). [1]
