• Each shared space is bound to size of a room. Headsets that are further away will not participate but they may start to participate if they get closer. • A shared space is only exposed to the particular site. For instance, 'bar.com/a.html' will not be able to see the shared space of 'bar.com/b.html'. They will each get a unique space and uuid. • When the WebXR session starts, it may take a couple of seconds to establish the correct shared space.

Wondering whether you should opt for a Quest 3 or a Quest 3S? Quest 3S is Meta's budget headset option. It has all the same VR and mixed reality capabilities of Quest 3, and has the same chipset and RAM inside, but it uses older, lower-quality fresnel lenses that aren't fully adjustable, so may not be suitable for everyone's eyes. Quest 3, on the other hand, uses Meta's advanced pancake lenses. They're clearer, sharper, wider, and fully horizontally adjustable, suitable for everyone's eyes.

The entire NHL Stanley Cup Final is being streamed in 2D 180° for free in the Xtadium app on Quest. American owners of Quest 2, Quest Pro, Quest 3, or Quest 3S can virtually sit rinkside at no cost using the app, which also offers 2D 180° livestreams of other US sports events such as the NBA, NASCAR, and UFC.
