Meta Quest Pro

I'm tending to focus mostly on optical see-through stuff, so I'm thinking of things where you can see the world.

I dabbled a little bit when the Apple Vision Pro and the MetaQuest Pro and all that stuff came out.

Dabbled a little bit in the pass-through, but I don't believe camera pass-through works.

It And one of my big themes is single factor analysis or few factor analysis where you say this is better and you ignore all the problems it creates.

That's interesting.

I think that- I think 50% ... what we usually see in, like, the first week of sales is the most hardcore, dedicated people- Yeah ... which is why the Pros always sell way more than the regulars in the first week.

Yeah.

But then over time, regular people just get a regular iPhone, and it sort of evens out.

Um, but what, what were you gonna say before we move on to the little puck, or?

Uh, I was gonna say for the VR glasses, I mean, my two big use cases in VR, at least in theory, 'cause I have the, I have the Quest Pro, as you know.

Yeah.

Uh, I, I l- love to work out in VR, which I'm sure you could tell by my physique.

[laughs] Do you see my muscles?

Do you... [laughs]

Um, and then the, the spatial, spatial computing, like, having as many monitors as you want with a keyboard, mouse, being able to talk to an AI, um, Quest Pro is not good at that because the resolution is too blurry to use.

Hmm.

So, so it's a VR version of Dual Destinies.

Um, the game is set to release next year on the Meta Quest 3, 3S too, Meta Quest Pro, along with the V- Meta VR glasses.

Step into the courtroom in VR and interact with suspic- suspicious witnesses and questionable events, evidence, I can't talk today, to prove your client's innocence.

Uh, deliver your objection face to face like never before.

Especially for this type of game.

Yeah, no, as far as I'm aware, it is coming out for medical VR glasses, MetaQuest 3, Quest Pro, and Quest 2.

So not coming to PlayStation VR.

That's interesting.

They went with-- They had a whole bunch of Quest products.

They had the Quest Pro.

That's gotten a lot quieter in recent years.

This year, it came back.

Yeah, for the people that were just using these devices as entertainment devices, it seems like the best version of something that Meta personally has made, right? There's been a lot of third parties that make these, like, big screen VR, and you can slap it on your face.

It's really small, but it has super high resolution, and the main purpose of that device is to be in a movie theater and not be on the plane.

But this gives me a lot of vibes of the Quest Pro when they were working with, I think, was it Atlassian? It was, like, some major B2B SaaS company, and they were like, "We sold 10,000 of these to this big B2B SaaS company, and in the future, you're gonna take all of your meetings in this VR space." And they had these kind of cringe, like, Nintendo Wii style VR avatars, whatever.

But the holograms in this, uh, demo that they gave, gave a lot of A lot of vibes of that, because it was like, you're on a video call-

But...

Remember, even for the Pro five years ago, the Quest Pro, they announced some collaboration with Microsoft, some productivity software.

We haven't heard anything like that.

They just said, you can now do this.

So they said, well, if we can stay at that price, we can also go up and have even more quality.

Let's see if it works out.

It didn't work at all for the Quest Pro.

Even though I always liked the Quest Pro, and I think this is really a progression, relatively natural progression from the Quest Pro, But with the same ecosystem mistakes.
