The Meta Quest Pro, a VR Headset from the Future
Technology News

Earlier this morning, as I was eating breakfast and scrolling through TikTok, I came across a really enticing video showing off Oculus’ newest VR headset.
For the last year or so, Oculus has been revealing minor details about their next VR headset, which was codenamed, Project Cambria. But now they have finally revealed the device, called the Meta Quest Pro.
The Quest Pro is the first iteration of Oculus’ high-end line of devices. But as you might expect, the high-end device also has a high price tag. While their previous VR headset, the Oculus Quest 2, has a retail price of $399USD, the Quest Pro will cost $1499USD. It sounds like a very high price until you see what the device is capable of.
The Quest Pro is packed with innovative features, including the following:
- High-res sensors for robust mixed reality experiences
- Crisp LCD displays for sharp visuals
- A completely new and sleeker design
- Eye tracking and Natural Facial Expressions to help your avatar reflect you more naturally in VR
These features are really cool, but the best feature of all is their all-new feature called stereoscopic mixed reality passthrough. In other words, the Quest Pro is capable of full-color mixed reality. This means you can view your current environment in full color while still interacting with the Quest Pro interface.
This is unlike Quest 2, which only let you view your surrounding in black and white. With the combination of multiple sensor views, it can create a natural view of your surrounding in 3D. This creates a more comfortable and higher-quality experience with significantly improved depth perception and less visual distortion.
The TikTok, which I mentioned before, perfectly showcased the device's ability, which in this case, showcased a virtual workspace associated with a physical workspace. Click here to view the TikTok.
As you can see, a virtual workspace is created alongside a physical workspace while looking very natural. This feature alone is tempting me to buy this device to replace the additional monitors on my desk. It just looks like something straight out of the future.
The Quest Pro also comes with the new Quest Touch Pro controller, which includes a major new feature. The position of the controller is tracked with three built-in sensors, which are completely independent of the headset. This means you get a full 360-degree range of motion.
This new device is one of the coolest pieces of tech I've seen this year, and I can't wait to see how the Quest Pro is incorporated into certain activities, such as work environments, gaming, and entertainment.
