Meta released the Quest Pro VR headsets in 2022. An advanced Snapdragon chip powers this VR headset with touch controllers and embedded sensors. According to a recent report, Meta is collaborating with LG Electronics to release a new mixed-reality headset.
As per the report, Meta and LG will work on a mixed-reality device to compete with Apple’s recently unveiled AR headset, the ‘Vision Pro.’ For those unaware, Apple announced its first mixed-reality headset earlier this year, which will be available for purchase in early 2024. Meta and LG’s strategy is to compete with the ‘Vision Pro.’ In the report, it is mentioned that Meta is expected to release its low-priced VR/AR model for under $200 in 2024. While the high-end LG collaborated model will be released in 2025.
Additionally, there is speculation that the device could be named ‘Meta Quest 4 Pro.’ The inclusion of ‘Pro’ in the name suggests that this headset may indeed be the 2025 model resulting from the collaboration.
It is worth mentioning that LG Electronics applied for a mixed reality (MR) patent in 2019 and has been focusing on research and development (R&D). However, it is a little soon to be sure that this patent and collaboration might be related, but with time, we expect to receive more information.
