Days after Apple unveiled its $3,499 mixed-reality headset, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg appeared to take a jab at the company’s pricing and vision for the product
“Our device is also about being active and doing things,” Zuckerberg said at an all-hands meeting with Meta employees on Thursday, referencing its Quest VR headset line. “By contrast, every demo that [Apple] showed was a person sitting on a couch by themself. I mean, that could be the vision of the future of computing, but like, it’s not the one that I want.” He added that Meta’s vision for the metaverse, an immersive virtual world, is “fundamentally social.
