	The Quest 3S utilizes [[inside-out tracking]] with 6 [[degrees of freedom]] (DoF) via four integrated monochrome tracking cameras located on the front and sides of the headset<ref name="vr-compare" />. Meta's inside-out tracking is generally considered robust and class-leading for standalone headsets<ref name="roadtoVR" />.

These controllers feature a more compact design without the tracking rings found on the Quest 2's controllers<ref name="roadtoVR" />, incorporate [[haptics]] (branded as TruTouch Haptics)<ref name="uploadvr1" />, and use capacitive sensors on the buttons, thumbsticks, and triggers for basic finger presence detection<ref name="roadtoVR" />.
