After two weeks of testing the Meta Quest Pro, I'm not sure who the device is meant for. It's a headset for professionals that's not professional grade, yet.
But CEO Mark Zuckerberg warned that these metaverse advancements wouldn't be seen for five to 10 years. "Our hope is that within the next decade, the metaverse will reach a billion people, host hundreds of billions of dollars of digital commerce, and support jobs for millions of creators and developers," Zuckerberg wrote in anHe's betting the metaverse is the new frontier of the internet.
The new processor, combined with added eye and face tracking, means your avatar more accurately reflects you in VR. Eye and face tracking is the most exciting update. If you're smiling, your avatar smiles too. If you're looking pensive, your avatar looks deep in thought. This makes interactions in the metaverse feel more lifelike.
Horizon Worlds is a social virtual reality application created by Meta that allows users to explore virtual worlds and interact with other participants virtually. This is Meta's main metaverse platform. The major issue with the new headset is not its design, it's the software. There aren't enough apps that are optimized to take advantage of the Meta Quest Pro's updates.
I left my meditation sessions feeling a little more connected to the present moment. I was able to better concentrate on tasks afterward without getting pointlessly lost in thought.I did not find it productive to actually work with my headset on, which is one of the main Pro headset use cases Meta promotes.
There's also Meta's own Horizon Workroom, which is a VR workspace that allows you to connect, collaborate and create. The face and eye tracking make the avatar experience more lifelike, but besides that, both apps perform similarly to how they do when used on the Meta Quest 2.The benefit of working in the metaverse is that you remove outside distractions. Unless you have phone notifications set up, you can only see what exists on the screens in front of you.
