What it is Filled
Meta Quest is the original standalone virtual-reality headset, incorporating battery power, onboard computing and inside-out positional tracking.
In scope
- Identification of the original headset model, its variants and regional identity.
- On-head display, optics, fit, audio, and supported vision adjustments.
- Headset tracking, controllers, hand input, passthrough, and spatial setup.
- Standalone execution and supported connections to external computing equipment.
- Power, physical condition, software readiness, and restrictions affecting use.
- Dependencies on accounts, applications, accessories, and service availability.
Out of scope
- Meta as a company and its wider product portfolio
- Immersive application content, game rules, and application-specific data models
- A connected computer's internal configuration beyond Quest compatibility requirements
- Controllers, straps, batteries, and other accessories as independently managed products
- User identity, clinical assessment, and personal health records
- The physical room or virtual environment as a complete spatial model
Why it exists Filled
Enable an AI agent to identify a Meta Quest headset offering, assess whether a particular unit can support an intended immersive task, and determine the checks required before use.
Distinguishing features Filled
- Identification evidence must establish the original Meta Quest headset model; membership in the wider product family is insufficient.
- The headset has an onboard computing role for standalone operation; an external-computer connection is a separately assessed operating mode.
- Capabilities must be supported by evidence applicable to the original model rather than inferred from later family members.
- The worn headset provides immersive visual output and tracked interaction; a controller, companion application, or smart-glasses product alone does not satisfy the boundary.
- Model capabilities must remain distinct from a particular unit's installed software, paired equipment, condition, and current readiness.
What robots and AI may and may not do Filled
Must not
- Collect or share room scans, eye, hand or voice data without the user's informed consent.
- Let children use it below the maker's minimum age or bypass parental controls.
- Disable the play boundary or passthrough safety features for a user.
- Record or stream other people in the room without their knowledge.
Only with a human decision
- Setting up accounts or contact with strangers for a minor.
May
- Help a user set up, configure and use their own headset, including safety boundaries.
- Remind users to clear the play area and take breaks.
Moral aspects Filled
- Headsets collect detailed data about bodies, homes and behaviour.
- Users who cannot see their surroundings can fall or hit people and objects.
Who is affected
- Users, including young people
- People in the same room
- Bystanders recorded by its cameras
Owners Filled
Steward
