Meta Quest Pro is Facebook’s latest VR/AR Headset. We tried it during a rare visit to Meta’s research labs and it feels transformed.

The main thing is that we need a mixed reality game where we are boarding up our windows and doors to protect our living room from a zombie apocalypse. How awesome would that be to go to your friends house and help them defend there place.
If the price gets to around 300 marks I can see that being the ps6 and xbanana.
Looks great, Quest 2 is a great headset
So you have not shown any actual footage you made by yourself through Quest Pro. You used the same videos, other reviewers did. Were you prohibited from recording your own content? This makes me concerned.
And what’s next years price going to be , $2000? 😠
But can it still be used for gaming? and if so would it be more powerful for gaming
I wear glasses 🤓 so I guess its not for me
Can it play crisis?
we are getting closer to Wall-E world!
How much did meta pay you to do this review?
Little known fact, but HTCs Flow Eye also sells for around $1500 and also has eye tracking. And it's been around for the past 3 years
still too cartoonic. not the smartest idea for business. this will flop hard.
If it is made by the ZUCK then I don't give a F_ _ _
Don't know where this is headed or which company will win, but VR will dominate society. Once they jack up the resolution to resemble real life, people will enjoy VR more than real life.
This thing looks confusing but I think I like the quest 2 better
Spend more, get more. Spend less, get less. Corp greed
Good info presentation
Meta’s direction looks positive. Definitely encouraging.
9:15 The market is there for those prices. This tech could be used to keep in touch with grandkids as they move away.
like Quest 2 it isn't made more for computer VR the Quest 2 kinda sucks when it came to using sim games like dcs world.. i personally don't want to play the games on the headset
Yeah this is cute and all but just wait until everdome and metahero Take over the space.
meta is dying
I'm sticking with Zuckerberg! 5 years I will be filthy rich.
Super dumb can’t be good for your eyes
don't think many would spend 1.5k on gimmick but ok.
"It reminds me of VR because it's VR, but also AR, because it's AR" – Thanks captain obvious.
Im in the same boat as others, $1500 , not for me until I see what Apple is all about .
People is even reluctant to open camera when WFH. What does mark think that he can force people to wear the goggles?
1500$ this is for all 👎👅👅👅👅
Apparently Varjo is the top end but it costs $8,000 , made in Finnland !
A face-tracking ad-machine… oof. It’s not really about where it’s at right now, but where it’s going. You’ve got one company doing most of this, and it’s spells out a dangerous amount of control.
they are batshit insane with that price point , any sane person is just going to wait for someone else to do it better and cheaper
and then the instant they release a new system they pull all replacement parts and controllers from the market for the one you just bought , and leave your headset to rot after the controller starts drifting and you cant replace it
scumbag company , hardly worth spending that much money on
But does it prevent nauseau? When I see things about meta, I always thing I am watcthing the empoeror has no clotes
same puking factor tho
The games don’t start until Google jumps in. The playoffs don’t start until Apple jumps in
it would be greater if the controller were gloves or as sensors built into the eyewear, and not hand-held devices. the idea is to enable vr eyewear to be worn out and about in an ordinary life setting. your hands would be free and the vr eyewear would streamline across the eyes like a glass band or perhaps just a lens.
The prototype (or should I say proto-hype 🫣) is not always the same as the real commercial product.
Hand held controllers is bonkers, Meta needs to make gloves. Gloves would make this product line totally awesome
This video would have been a lot better if we could see more of the ar vr experiences.
great technology but Meta is still pretty boring 🙁 $1500 for moving a fake cup. Maybe in 10 years…. when the software is there !
I like that you can use your glasses on it. I’ll wait to see if the quest 3 can do it too and if not I’ll probably pick this one
Quest Pro is incredible!!!! Can't believe the jump in quality in the past 2 years
It's as if we're supposed to ignore the gorilla in the room. They look totally stupid on a person.
1 to 2 hrs of battery life? Sorry, no deal.
Waste review with little substance 👎👎👎👎👎👎
This is great because the way technology goes, all these features start off expensive but then get cheaper over time. Hopefully, in time, we'll see these hit the Quest 3 or 4.
I wish I could afford $1500 for each 8 members of my small online group… Heck I wish I could I afford one for myself
VR headset give glaucoma and retinal detachment
Reality is better – Alternatively, get an empty cereal packet but two eye holes in it, then put it on your head, and you have Very Real (VR) Ality. Convincingly looks like the real world through the eye holes and doesn’t need power/batteries or have awkward cables either. I’m not sure if to call it ‘Shock-ulus’ (because of the very low price), ‘Virtua-Goggles’ (because it is fitted with an anti-dizziness device in the cardboard) or ‘Betta’ (because it comes with more interactive features than the rivals). Anyone interested? My kids can make them in minutes. Just let me know, and I’ll send you the blueprints free of charge.
CNET still hasn't reviewed the current crop of AR glasses from smaller companies, and instead focuses all their attention on their corporate overlords Apple and Meta. Real trustworthy people we're dealing with here.
everyone owns a $1000 dollar iphone and gladly buys a new one every two years. $1500 isn't bad, META just has to get mass adoption by showing people how much better their life would be with AR, plus it would basically have a built gaming system, social media stuff, and business applications. I think people that don't think this is a very good piece of tech for the future are really missing the bubble.
