The Meta Quest Pro, which is priced at US$1,500 (around S$2,130) features a number of new features that are meant to improve users’ perception of truly being in the presence of other people.
The headset makes it possible to view not only virtual worlds but also the real environment of the user, thanks to high-resolution outward-facing cameras.
“The moment that they begin to break into a smile or when they raise their eyebrow… your avatar should be able to express all of that and more,” Meta chief Mark Zuckerberg said at Meta Connect, the company’s giant’s annual conference focused on virtual reality.
Customers can begin ordering the Quest Pro in early October, and the device will ship at the end of the month.
