Mark Zuckerberg unveiled Meta’s newest virtual reality headset, the Quest Pro, a sleek device that can display text and fine details in VR, making it easy to read.<\/p>\n
It can also track eyes and facial features, creating a sense of connectedness with other people in virtual space. It can also be used as a mixed reality headset that displays a colored view of the world around it while interacting with digital objects.<\/p>\n
It features thinner lenses, a curved battery around the back of the head strap, and self-tracking controllers. The headset also allows users to see their actual surroundings around the screen’s periphery.<\/p>\n
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella also explained that it will support the office platform Windows 365 as Meta tries to position Mixed and Virtual Reality as both a work tool and a form of entertainment.<\/p>\n
According to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, mixed reality is the next big step for VR, as Meta is betting its future on creating a Metaverse, a virtual world where people can live their daily lives as avatars as well as explore virtual fantasy worlds.<\/p>\n
The cost is $1,499 (\u00a31,499), which is nearly four times the cost of Meta’s current headset, the Quest 2, which starts at $399. This is most likely because it is aimed more at architects and designers with deep enough pockets to pay for the headset, as well as some creative and die-hard VR users.<\/p>\n
