The launch of Apple's AR/VR headset, the Reality Pro, is just days away: WWDC begins on the 5th of June. If the rumoured specs and $3,000 price tag are correct – and it's possible that the latter isn't; the iPad was rumoured to be much more expensive than it actually was – then Facebook's parent company Meta will be doing a happy dance. They too are working on a cutting edge AR/VR device, and it'll cost a lot less than Apple's one.
The story comes via Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, who got an exclusive hands-on (heads-on?) of the Meta Quest 3. It isn't planned to launch until October, but Gurman reckons it could benefit from the Apple AR hype by providing an AR option for people who simply can't afford Apple's one.
