Meta Quest Pro is coming this month – costs 9000 Euro.

Insanely expensive new awesome-looking VR headset from Facebook owners.

Facebook owner Meta has unveiled its next VR headset – the premium edition Meta Quest Pro.

• This is a so-called stand-alone VR headset that does not need a connection to a PC, but the performance on paper versus the price shows that this is probably intended more for companies than consumers.

• Purely in terms of technology, it is a Snap Dragon XR2+ processor that runs the fun, with 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage on board.

• There are two LCD screens in the glasses that have a resolution of 1800×1920 each for a total resolution of 3600×1920, which is not too far from the current Quest 2 variant.

• There is twice as much RAM as in the current Quest 2 variant, and the processor should be 50 percent faster, according to Meta.

The glasses weigh a little more than, but are far flatter than, the Quest 2 – and look a little more like “glasses” than before.

It should be said, however, that this does not appear to be a traditional VR headset, but rather one that is aimed at people who want to hold meetings in a VR or AR solution.

For example, it will not be possible to block out all light when wearing the glasses, but rather shield the right and left sides a bit with removable flaps – a full mask will be available to buy separately for around 50 Euro later this year :).

The headset also has a fairly low refresh rate of 72 hertz, which is far below other top-of-the-line models, but Meta says it will also be “possible” with 90 hertz.

Of the new tricks, Quest Pro will measure where you look and send this to others who are online with you so that they can follow your eyes.

Meta also promises two cameras on the outside that allow you to see “through” the mask, with four times higher resolution than in the low-resolution cameras in the Quest 2.

The headset can run on its own, and the battery will then last one to two hours – around one hour less than the Quest 2. A cable to connect to a PC is sold separately for a thousand, and you will then be able to use programs and games created for the PC.

The price is probably the biggest indicator that this is not meant for us mere mortals: You will have to fork out 1900 Euro for the VR glasses and controls when they are launched on 25 October.

Furthermore, the controls do not need cameras on the headset or base stations in order to be measured accurately, because these come with their own cameras to know where they are in the room.

Just to mention that these also support Quest 2, and can be purchased separately for 390-400 Euro.
