Explore how the Meta Quest headset is revolutionizing the way we play, learn, work, and connect, and why it's already trending in the Chilean tech world.

A New Reality: What is Meta Quest and why is it causing such a stir?

If you're interested in technology, you've probably heard of virtual reality . But if you still think it's just futuristic video games or experiments for geeks, it's time to update. The Meta Quest —formerly known as the Oculus Quest—is the device that's redefining the way we interact with the digital world. And yes, it's now available in Chile .

Manufactured by Meta (formerly Facebook) , the Quest headset has quickly earned a privileged place in the global tech scene. What was once exclusive to labs or large companies is now literally at your fingertips. But what exactly is this technology? What makes it so special? And what can it bring to your daily life, beyond entertainment?

It's not just for gamers: Real-life uses for Meta Quest

One of the biggest myths about virtual reality headsets is that they're designed solely for gaming. And while the gaming experience in Meta Quest is simply spectacular (we'll get to that later), the truth is that its potential goes far beyond that :

- Immersive education

Imagine learning history by walking the streets of ancient Rome or understanding the solar system from inside a spacecraft. With apps like Wander and Mission: ISS , students and self-learners can experience immersive educational experiences. In Chile, some universities are already exploring the use of VR to enhance remote learning.

- Fitness and wellness

Tired of traditional workout routines? With Meta Quest, you can box with a virtual instructor , practice guided meditation, or do cardio to the beat of music in fantastical settings. Games like Supernatural , Beat Saber , and Les Mills Bodycombat are revolutionizing home fitness, especially in times when going to the gym isn't always an option.

- Remote work and collaboration

Meta has invested heavily in the creation of the metaverse, and part of that vision includes working in virtual environments. Tools like Horizon Workrooms allow you to attend virtual meetings, share documents, and collaborate in real time with colleagues, as if you were in the same room. In Chile , where remote work is here to stay, this technology promises a new form of productivity.

- Therapies and mental health

Yes, there's also a more human side: Meta Quest is being used by psychologists and therapists to treat phobias, post-traumatic stress, and anxiety, thanks to controlled environments where patients can gradually expose themselves to their fears. This opens the door to a revolution in mental health —one that's accessible and less invasive.

And what about video games? Because yes, we love to play too.

Let's face it: the gaming experience in Meta Quest is one of the most powerful on the market. Without the need for cables or an expensive PC, you can enjoy titles like:

• Half-Life: Alyx (connected via PC Link)
  
  

• The Walking Dead : Saints & Sinners
  
  

• Resident Evil 4 VR
  
  

• Pistol Whip
  
  

• Population: One
  
  

And the best part is that the app and game store is growing every week. In addition, many Chilean developers are beginning to experiment with local content, opening up a new space for national talent.
