Meta has decided to halt the development of its high-end mixed-reality headset, the Meta Quest Pro, and discontinued work on the Quest Pro 2. This move comes amidst reports of the company's shift in focus toward more affordable VR/AR devices and the upcoming launch of the Meta Quest 3. The Quest Pro, which was released in October, was targeted at professionals rather than gamers. - The Quest Pro faced criticism for its design, weight, and software platform upon its launch.
- Originally $1,500, the Quest Pro's price was later reduced to $1,000 due to public backlash.
- Meta recently announced its new VR/AR headset, the Meta Quest 3, and a social media platform named Threads.
- The Quest 3 is set to offer a superior XR experience with features like higher resolution, a depth sensor, and two 4MP cameras.
- Meta's upcoming AR glasses, Artemis, will use older display technology, Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCoS), which lacks brightness.
- The Artemis AR glasses will have a 50-degree field of view, reduced from the initially planned 70-degree FOV.
In April 2012, Oculus hit Kickstarter with the Oculus Rift developer kit. |
