Reported by ReutersThe launch of the Metaverse toolkit is an important step for Zuckerberg who announced the Metaverse vision last year.
The reason, Zuckerberg poured billions of dollars into the vision.
Reality Labs, the Meta unit responsible for bringing the metaverse to life, lost $ 10.2 billion in 2021 and lost nearly $ 6 billion this year by realizing the Metaverse vision.
Additionally, the Quest Pro is said to seek to combine the best parts of the two types of headphones (virtual and mixed) into a standalone unit that is strong, but still very comfortable.
Compared to the Quest 2, the Quest Pro packs several major hardware improvements including a completely new design, 10 sensors and a completely revamped optics.
Quoted by InvolveThe Quest Pro is also the first device to feature the Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 + chip along with 12GB of RAM, 256GB of storage, and a 90Hz refresh rate, which Meta says offers 50% better performance than the Quest 2. .
Devices with more powerful motors would require a large battery. The Meta uses a curved battery cell combined with the Quest Pro’s rear headband.
So, to offer fully immersive virtual reality, Meta added tracking sensors to Quest Pro that can replicate the user’s eye movements and facial expressions, creating the impression that the avatar is making eye contact.
Quest Pro comes with goggles as a virtual reality headset and a pair of controllers as a mixed reality headset.
The sensors built into the controller support hand and finger tracking to ensure much more precise movements in the Metaverse.
