Mark Zuckerberg has unveiled a new VR headset, the Quest Pro, at an online event held for developers.
With a price tag of $1,499 (£1,499), Quest Pro is almost four times the price of Meta’s current headset, the Quest 2, which starts at $399.
It boasts thinner lenses, a curved battery around the head strap at the back, and controllers which self-track.
The headset also enables users to see their actual surroundings outside the screen’s edge.
Unlike its predecessor, Quest Pro supports mixed reality, allowing users to view digital information overlaid on the actual world.
Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, called mixed reality “the next important step for VR.”
The device is more suitable to “high-end, enthusiast, and possibly enterprise customers” than mass-market, according to Tuong Nguyen, a Gartner researcher.

The workplace platform Windows 365 will also be accessible on it, according to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, as Meta aims to position mixed reality and virtual reality as both a work tool and a form of pleasure.
