Meta announced yesterday that it will begin production of the next generation of mixed reality headsets, “Quest 3S,” in Vietnam, which will create over a thousand job opportunities in the Southeast Asian country.

Nick Clegg, President of Global Affairs at Meta, stated during a conference in Hanoi that the company will collaborate with local partners to produce these headsets, contributing to the creation of more than a thousand new jobs, according to their estimates.

Meta, the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, is set to launch the mixed reality headsets (augmented and virtual reality) in mid-October, with prices starting at $299.
