The company formerly known as Facebook introduced today the Meta Quest Pro, its first high-end device for VR and MR. Meta will start shipping it on October 25 for $1,499.99 USD.
The new device, previously known as Project Cambria, comes with the headset, Meta Quest Touch Pro controllers, stylus tips, partial light blockers, and a charging dock.
The company shared the specifications of the new device:
- The first-ever device powered by the new Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2+ platform
- 12GB of RAM
- 256GB of storage
- 10 high-resolution sensors
- Pancake lenses that fold light several times over, reducing the depth of the optical module by 40% while providing clear and sharp visuals
- Eye tracking and Natural Facial Expressions for improved social presence
- Color Passthrough for improved mixed reality experiences
- Backwards compatible with the Meta Quest 2 catalog, so you can enjoy a wide range of VR games and experiences on day one
- Two LCD displays that use local dimming and quantum dot technology to provide richer and more vivid colors
- Custom local dimming tech, powered by specialized backlight hardware and accompanying software algorithms, which can control more than 500 individual LED blocks independently, giving the displays 75% more contrast than Meta Quest 2
- 37% more pixels per inch than Meta Quest 2
- Re-engineered Touch Pro controllers with sensors of their own for more accurate tracking and a full 360-degree range of motion, plus our new TruTouch Haptics system to provide a wider and more precise range of feedback, plus rechargeable batteries
