Zuckerberg Launched Quest Pro Headsets
At the event, Mark Zuckerberg not only unveiled the price of the gadget but also talked about its feature. He spoke at length about the features and functions that the new VR headset has to offer the users.
However, the price tag he unveiled for the new Quest Pro VR left many viewers in awe. Mark Zuckerberg announced that the price tag for the new Quest Pro headsets would be $1,499.
At the current exchange rate, the $1,499 price tag equates to £1,499. Given the price tag of the old headsets introduced by Zuckerberg, it is a great jump.
Previously, Mark Zuckerberg had introduced Quest 2 which was also launched through Meta. The price tag for the Quest 2 headsets was just $399. The new VR headsets by Meta seem to have come up with a price that has jumped tremendously.
Features of the New Headset
The new headset comes with controllers that self-track. At the back of the headset around the head strap, the creators have added a battery that has been designed in a curve.
In addition to the above, the headset also comes with lenses that are thinner than the past versions of the headsets by Meta.
The users can use the periphery of the screen on the headset so they can view the real environment. The Quest Pro dominates and supersedes its predecessors in terms of its capabilities as it also offers mixed reality tendencies.
The headset has the capability of adding a layer of digital content to the real world, which is one of the most advanced technologies.

Tuong Nguyen’s Comments on the Quest Pro
Tuong Nguyen, one of the senior analysts talked about the latest announcement made by Mark Zuckerberg.
He stated that by giving a tremendous push to the price of the new headsets, Meta has moved the new headsets to the high-end category. Now, only users and technology enthusiasts with deep pockets would be able to buy these headsets.
Apart from the high-end users, it would be the enterprise users who would get their hands on these products. The new headsets would be deprived of gaining exposure and popularity in the mass market.
