Dawn of the virtual world: Meta’s Quest Pro-Vr

In recent times, technology has indeed taken a new turn in serving mankind. When it comes to business, health care, engineering, and entertainment; technology is definitely the bedrock that sustains each sector. A person can interact with a synthetic three-dimensional (3-D) visual or another sensory world through the use of computer modeling and simulation or virtual reality. Through the use of interactive, wearable devices that send and receive information and can take the shape of goggles, headsets, gloves, or body suits, VR applications immerse the user in a computer-generated environment that resembles reality with meta’s quest pro delivers.

The virtual reality world is another form of technological evolution that has come to stay. It basically brings anything and everything in mind to life. It was first initiated by Jaron Lanier in the late 90s. He worked in the virtual world during engineering projects. The earliest utilization of the virtual world traces back to the united states-Department of Defense and even NASA. It did not stop there, the entertainment world good made use of this opportunity in cinematography. In the era; sensorama surfaced utilizing the feeling from the five senses. History tells its story in the world of virtual reality, it did not start today. In 2016, over 200 tech industries ventured into using VR products.

In 2020, a tech company-Oculus came up with the oculus quest 2 with clearer image production, affordability, and high-performance value.

Consequently, the aviation sector recognized the virtual world and used headsets to reduce risks via flight simulation. In the health sector and a focus on how to customize the experience to each unique patient and significant progress since 2017 in the integration of virtual reality with cognitive behavioral therapy.

The Meta Quest Pro-VR headset

At the Meta connect 2022 developer conference, Meta revealed strategies for accelerating its metaverse approach as well as new products. Developers, artists, and tech fans gathered for the ninth annual conference to debate the most recent developments in augmented reality(AR) and virtual reality created by the company. Mark Zuckerburg, the CEO of meta described meta’s quest pro as the “next frontier of the social media platform which wants to build an embodied internet where users interact and live in an immersive experience and are not just observers”.

According to Zuckerberg, the metaverse will connect VR headsets, smartphones, laptops, desktop computers, and perhaps future devices.

“We are developing meta horizon worlds to enable users to visit friends who are chatting in virtual reality and vice versa while using their phone or laptop. It is crucial to add user-facing sensors to the quest pro to make avatars more realistic. It is unquestionably more interesting to provide non-verbal cues like blinking and brow movement that are more realistic”.

Users will be able to communicate and work together as if they were physically present while using the quest pro. In order to enable gamers to stream hundreds of high-quality Xbox games to smartphones, tablets, PCs, some smart TVs, and the meta quest platform, Microsoft and meta are also looking into ways to bring Xbox cloud gaming to the meta quest store. Jeff Teper, head of Microsoft collaborative apps and platforms stated that Microsoft 365 apps will be available on meta quest devices. Enabling individuals to interact with material from their favorite productivity apps like word, excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and SharePoint within VR. In order to give customers a more customizable VR experience in the future, meta is collaborating with Youtube. Quest pro will soon be able to import their Youtube movies via 2D panel into other VR applications.

Speculations

Weight

This headset is the thinnest meta has ever produced, weighing 25.4 ounces and measuring 10.4 x 7.7 inches. That is large because of the lens and curved battery that is at the back of the headset rather than the front.

Design

Meta’s quest pro is unlike anything else we have seen from the company. The area that covers your face is smaller than in previous models. Instead of a matte white surface with a sensor in each corner. The face plate is glossy black with three visible sensors around the eyes and another on either side. The rest of the headset is mostly of black matte plastic. The top of the headset slides upward, sitting gently against the user’s forehead to cover the light entrance. However, if the light becomes too much, there are magnetic partial light blockers. Although, full blockers will be on sale later this year.

Controllers

The controllers are 5.4 ounces and 5.1 x 2.8 2.4 inches in size. They are heavier than the previous model which is 4.4ounces, 3.5 x 4.7 inches. They house a Qualcomm snapdragon 662 mobile processor, three sensors, and a rechargeable battery in each device. The new technology sure enhances hand-tracking technology. They can track themselves in a 3D world independently of the headset thanks to their own CPU and sensors that enable a full range of motion. It also features a sound hepatic system via meta’s TruTouch hepatics system.

Display panel

With low lighting, the quest pro’s pair of LCD displays 1800 x 1920 resolution for each eye. Therefore it is 37% more pixels per inch and 10% more pixels per degree. Sophisticated dimming technology controls the LED blocks separately. Meta’s quest pro provides 75% more contrast and deeper colors. It also has a 25% gain in enhanced field visual clarity on the central view. It is 1.3x broader in the color spectrum and provides 50% more in the peripheral region.

Comfortability

The meta’s quest pro incorporates a lens spacing adjustment mechanism to adjust for inter-pupillary distance which is crucial for optimal viewing because the incorrect IPD might result in visual distortion that makes users ill. The quest pro adjustable range is 55mm-75mm. Though it may seem insignificant, the latest measurement will increase the headset’s usability for a wider range of users.

Battery life

The meta’s quest pro might take you from one to two hours, depending on how you utilize it.

Storage

The snapdragon powers the quest pro. Along with that, there is 256GB storage and 12GB RAM. Quest pro does not have any SD slots.

Processor

It supports the 72Hz but possesses a 90Hz refresh rate. It also features a field view of 106 degrees horizontally and 96 degrees vertically.

Price

The quest pro is currently on pre-order for $1,499. Distribution of orders starts on the 25th of October.
