Meta said in a blog post, “We’ve partnered with Microsoft to turn Meta Quest 3 and 3S into a natural extension of your Windows 11 PC. Once you’ve done the initial setup, all you’ll have to do is look at your Windows 11 PC and you’ll be prompted to pair. No need to lift up your headset or do anything on your PC itself.”

Alphabet Inc.’s Google and Samsung Electronics Co. unveiled a joint push into the mixed-reality market, introducing a new operating system and headset in a bid to challenge devices from Apple Inc. and Meta Platforms Inc.

Google is teaming up with Samsung to take on Meta and Apple in the resurgent market for smart glasses and virtual-reality headsets, almost a decade after suspending consumer sales of its controversial Google Glass device.
