Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg used Meta’s new virtual reality headset to learn how to paint his daughter’s nails.
In a video posted to Instagram on Tuesday, Zuckerberg uses the Meta Quest 3S to learn how to make soap with six web browsers open next to him in a virtual environment. Then she took the polish and painted her daughter’s nails.

He captioned the video “Expanding dad skills with multiple screens on the Quest 3S.”
The company announced the Meta Quest 3S, a more affordable alternative to its $599 Quest 3, at the Meta Connect event last month. The headset has the same library of VR apps and games as the Quest 3 at a lower price point, but reviewers called its lower-resolution display a letdown. Since its launch, the Quest 3S has become the best-selling device under video games on Amazon US
It’s not the first time Zuckerberg has used the time with his daughters as an opportunity to show off Meta’s products while learning something new. In October 2023, Zuckerberg filmed a video of himself using Ray Ban Meta smart glasses to learn how to braid his daughter’s hair.
Meta is the industry leader in VR headsets. According to IDC research, Meta had 60.5% of the market in the second quarter of 2024, with Sony and Apple holding 10.4% and 9.1% respectively.

Meta’s market share has grown since the second quarter of 2023, when it held 50.1% of the market, per IDC. Its hold dipped briefly in the first quarter of 2024, when Apple released the $3,500 Apple Vision Pro headset.
According to a February 2023 leak, Meta shipped about 20 million Quest 2 headsets. A June report shows that Meta has sold more than one million Quest 3 headsets.
