Mark Zuckerberg unveiled his company’s newest virtual reality headset on Tuesday, the Meta Quest Pro.
his company’s newest virtual reality headset on Tuesday, the Meta Quest Pro, the CEO’s latest foray into the world of high-end VR devices that Meta Platforms hopes will entice creators and working professionals to adopt its vision for a virtual future.
It’s also much more expensive than its predecessor. The new device will cost US$1 500 , or three times the price of the Quest 2, in part because the company is targeting more serious working professionals. While Meta’s Quest 2 headset has sold an estimated 15 million units, many people still associate VR with gaming, a connection Meta seems to be trying to avoid in marketing its newest headset.
Meta is also launching new “self-tracking” controllers alongside its new headset, which means each controller has “built-in sensors” that can “track their position in 3D space independent of the headset”, according to Meta’s blog post about the product.Meta and Zuckerberg have been teasing the Quest Pro for months, and many of the headset’s details leaked ahead of Tuesday’s announcement at the company’s annual Connect conference.
Many have raised doubts as to whether Zuckerberg’s vision is even possible. After the CEO recently posted a picture of his own avatar to his Facebook page, he was mocked ruthlessly by people who felt the image looked amateurish.
