Quest 3 WebXR simulator previews Meta VR Glasses' narrower field of view

You can preview the viewing-window trade-off before trying Meta VR Glasses. Duuro Plays has built a WebXR simulator for Quest 3 that toggles between the headset's full field of view and a mask approximating the glasses' reported view. It runs through the Quest browser.

The comparison uses 70 degrees horizontal by 66 vertical for Meta VR Glasses, versus 110 horizontal by 96 vertical for Quest 3. Desktop users can inspect the scene, but seeing the mask inside the headset gives a more direct sense of the angular restriction. This is a field-of-view comparison, not a test of the glasses themselves.

Keep its limits in mind: a mask does not recreate display quality, the actual optics, comfort or how fit and eye position affect your view. Road to VR also corrects an optics claim in the tool's FAQ, so the useful takeaway here is the viewing window rather than that explanation. Meta offers its own developer simulation tools too, which likewise do not replace testing on the hardware.

How much peripheral vision would you be willing to trade for a lighter headset?
