Meta Connect 2022, the developer conference of Meta, the parent company of Facebook, is approaching, and there is much anticipation for the Meta Quest Pro. In order to stay informed, let’s review what is expected to be announced on Oct. 11, as well as speculate on other potential updates.
Meta Quest Pro
The Meta Quest Pro is designed to be Meta’s virtual reality solution for businesses and professional environments. Previously known as Project Cambria, this device is an upgraded version of the Quest marketed to consumers. A leaked amateur video of a prototype of the Pro revealed a sleeker and thinner design without light-blocking gaskets. It is expected that the Pro will utilize thin pancake lenses, pass-through technology, and eye-tracking technology to improve remote work setups and offer new solutions for on-the-job training. Rumors suggest that the price of the Pro could be around $1,000, a significant increase from the $399 Quest 2.
Meta Quest 3
Information about the upcoming Meta Quest 3, internally referred to as Stinson within Meta, has been leaked by YouTuber SadlyItsBradley. Although the device is scheduled for release next year, there might be some details shared about Meta’s future consumer devices. The Stinson is expected to be a mixed reality device featuring pancake lenses and five cameras, but without eye or face tracking. This indicates that it will likely be a more affordable option compared to the high-end Pro.
Horizon Worlds
Considering Meta’s investment in Horizon Worlds, it is probable that there will be announcements about new features aimed at enhancing user interactions and creativity on the platform. After receiving criticism for the platform’s low-resolution graphics, Mark Zuckerberg shared improved images of what the company has been working on. It is anticipated that this enhanced version of Horizon Worlds will be unveiled at the Connect conference.
Meta has been emphasizing the importance of creativity in the metaverse and has been promoting it as a space for unlimited expression where developers and artists can innovate and establish new businesses. Connect will feature sessions such as “Build Immersive Experiences,” “Create Natural Interactions,” and “Design for Everyone,” which will likely provide valuable insights for developers and artists alike. The company’s marketing efforts, such as the “Are We There Yet?” series, featuring discussions with creators in Horizon Worlds, aim to showcase the potential for creative expression in the metaverse.
