--- title: "Meta Quest 3 and Quest 3S for training: what a program needs" description: "Which PTR programs run on Meta Quest 3 and Quest 3S, what the headset does in a real room, what a fleet needs, and who chooses it." canonical: https://peopletechrevolution.com/xr/devices/meta-quest-3 --- [XR](https://peopletechrevolution.com/xr) / [Headsets and devices](https://peopletechrevolution.com/xr/devices) / Meta Quest 3 and Quest 3S # Meta Quest 3 and Quest 3S for training programs The standalone headset most of PTR’s ready-to-run titles ship on: VR with the room replaced, or mixed reality with the room kept. In a real room ## The headset in the training room No PC, no cable, no tracking towers: a Quest goes on, the scenario loads, and the debrief happens in the same room. A nurse raises her hands in a ward corridor. An office scenario for practising conversation. An atrium scenario, hands free at the sides. Programs ## Which programs run on it The conversations a team comes to rehearse, on the headset it can buy this week. A learner selects a role-play object. ### The PTR VR Library, and every custom VR build [PTR VR Library](https://peopletechrevolution.com/xr/ptr-vr-library) titles run on standalone headsets such as Meta Quest, so [bias and inclusion](https://peopletechrevolution.com/training/bias-and-inclusion), [de-escalation](https://peopletechrevolution.com/training/de-escalation) and [speaking up for safety](https://peopletechrevolution.com/training/speaking-up-for-safety) programs run here in a facilitated workshop. A custom build sets the same practice in recreations of your own rooms. A spatial mesh forms over the room. ### What it does in a real room Quest 3 and Quest 3S carry "Full color passthrough (4MP, 18 PPD)" in Meta’s own comparison, so a scenario can keep the real ward or depot in view and add the counterpart to it. Quest 3 shows "2064 x 2208 pixels per eye"; Quest 3S "1832x1920 pixels per eye", with the same processor. Which reality fits a given moment is the question [VR, AR or MR](https://peopletechrevolution.com/learn/xr/vr-vs-ar-vs-mr) answers. The fleet ## What a fleet needs Sessions run in turns, so a group needs fewer headsets than people, and the count is agreed at planning. A headset session beside the equipment trolley. ### Accounts, a device manager and a charging routine Meta states that "Meta Quest commercial devices are no longer available for sale" and that existing customers keep Meta Horizon managed services for Quest 3 and 3S until 4 January 2030 ([Meta for Work](https://www.meta.com/meta-for-work)). A consumer Quest 3 or 3S under a device manager such as [ArborXR](https://arborxr.com/) is the current path; [headsets and equipment](https://peopletechrevolution.com/training/headsets-and-equipment) lists the IT questions to settle before the kit arrives. A facilitator briefs participants in a workshop room. ### Who chooses it Educators and safety leads who want a headset their own facilitator can run, a price of admission the budget already understands, and a title that is ready on the day. Quest 3S suits a larger fleet of the same scenario; Quest 3 suits a program where sharper text and a wider view matter. [L&D leaders](https://peopletechrevolution.com/training/for-learning-and-development-leaders) and [safety leads](https://peopletechrevolution.com/training/for-safety-and-wellbeing-leads) describe the fit from their side. What PTR ships ## What PTR ships on it The Library titles ship here, and a custom build in Unity or Unreal Engine lands on the same headset. A man in a lift lobby, hand raised mid-request. ### Library titles, and custom builds in Unity and Unreal Engine [Everyday Inclusion](https://peopletechrevolution.com/xr/ptr-vr-library/everyday-inclusion), [Lift VR](https://peopletechrevolution.com/xr/ptr-vr-library/lift-vr) and their siblings run standalone; an [XR fast build](https://peopletechrevolution.com/fast-builds/xr-ar-mr-vr-builds) puts a working version of your own scenario on a Quest before production begins, so the people who will use it decide on something they have stood in.

Short answers, each with a link to the page that answers in full. Inspecting the headset lenses. ### Do we buy Quest 3 or Quest 3S? Both run the same titles and the same passthrough. Choose Quest 3 where a scenario relies on reading text or a wide view; choose Quest 3S where the fleet is large and the scenarios are short conversations. PTR agrees suitable hardware with you when a session is planned. Testing hand tracking, a coach watching. ### Do learners need controllers? Library scenarios use limited controller input, and a headset can run hand tracking where a build supports it. Seated, slower-paced experiences suit most people, and glasses can usually stay on. [How a pilot runs](https://peopletechrevolution.com/training/how-a-pilot-runs) covers the setup on the day. A clinical scenario for practising conversation. ### How do we clean a headset between learners? Meta’s care steps, a dry microfibre cloth and a washed facial interface, plus what an Australian health guideline adds for shared clinical use, are set out on [headsets and equipment](https://peopletechrevolution.com/training/headsets-and-equipment).
