The Meta Quest Pro feels like one of the first major steps in Mark Zuckerberg's mission to create the Metaverse, a virtual plane of existence that mixes virtual reality and augmented reality in an attempt to transform the way humans work, socialize, and play. I want to be completely honest out of the gate. I have absolutely no interest in the Metaverse as a potential future for the human race. I think it's a concept that on paper sounds "futuristic" and "streamlined", but will ultimately be clunky, dystopian, and unnecessary thanks to a lot of the great technology we use already.
Regardless, the folks at Oculus are some of the trendsetters in virtual reality, and following on from the mainstream success of the Meta Quest 2 as one of the most accessible VR gaming platforms on the market, the Meta Quest Pro is the next stop in the company's historic journey. This is the first release from Oculus since the Meta rebrand, so it's a big glimpse into how things may have changed.
