A new VR headset `` Meta Quest Pro '' that `` made use of everything learned from Meta Quest 2 '' was announced. The product introduction movie is below.
Quest Pro is a VR/MR headset that does not require a PC connection. The pass-through video from the inside-out camera was black and white on the Quest 2, but on the Quest Pro it became full color and the resolution was four times that of the Quest 2. The internal storage is 256GB and the RAM is 12GB.
The headband on the back has a built-in curved battery that is the first in the series. It is said that the battery has a large capacity and can be used continuously for 60 to 90 minutes.
The light blocker (light shielding plate) around the lens has a built-in magnet and can be removed freely. The light blocker can be removed when using it as an MR (mixed reality) device that sees through the surrounding environment, and the light blocker can be attached when using it as a VR device that fully enjoys the virtual space.
It is a patented pancake lens that has a structure that folds light several times. The adjustable interpupillary distance (IPD) range is 55 to 75 mm, and it can be adjusted steplessly.

Performance is 50% higher than Snapdragon XR2 Gen1, and thermal performance is also 30% higher.
And the controller is also a 'Touch Pro controller' that has evolved greatly from Quest 2. With TruTouch haptic feedback and fine pinch operations, VR will become more intuitive. The Touch Pro controller is included with the Quest Pro and will be compatible with the Quest 2 as an option.
One controller has a Snapdragon 662 mobile processor and three cameras. In Quest 2, the coordinates of the controller were grasped by the headset, but Quest Pro has a tracking function on the controller itself, so it is possible to grasp the coordinates more accurately.

This whole-body tracking is done using an AI model that predicts body position, and researchers at Meta published a paper in September 2022.
