Comprehensive Prospect of Meta's next Generation of High-end VR Quest Pro 2: may have AI support

[CNMO Technology] although it is regarded as one of the top virtual reality headsets on the market today, the Meta Quest Pro has failed to fully deliver on its promise to replace traditional laptops as a disruptive spatial computing device.

However, this does not mean that Meta has stopped actively exploring and developing professional immersive solutions. In fact, there are rumors that Meta is gearing up for its follow-up product, Meta Quest Pro 2.

Cooperation with LG

At the beginning of this year, a piece of news was caused on the InternetNodepositbonusslotsA lot of attention-- Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, visited LG headquarters for in-depth exchanges on cooperation in cutting-edge display technology. Given that Meta has ended its small consumer electronics line, such as the Portal, its collaboration with LG is naturally focused on two cutting-edge devices: virtual reality (VR) helmets and augmented reality (AR) glasses.

It is understood that the device of cooperation between the two sides is an extended reality (XR) headset with micro-OLED display. Compared with the OLED screen used in the original Quest, the resolution is relatively low and the refresh rate is limited to 72Hz. In the follow-up Quest 2 products, Meta turned to LCD screen, which not only reduced the cost, but also significantly improved the picture clarity and refresh speed, and strongly promoted the upgrade of VR game experience and the practicality of VR work scene. It is worth noting that LG has publicly announced that it will launch its own hybrid reality headset this year.

If LG can achieve a breakthrough in micro-OLED technology and create a display screen with higher brightness, less motion blur and more lasting display effect than Vision Pro, it will undoubtedly add important weight for Meta in the competition of XR headsets.

High performance

Meta has reached a long-term strategic cooperation agreement with Qualcomm to jointly promote the development of Snapdragon XR processors and significantly improve the performance of the Quest platform and Meta smart glasses products. This alliance has spawned the amazing Quest 3-headed and innovative Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, which only marks the beginning of a deep cooperation between the two sides.

Qualcomm has disclosed that it will use a better chip, Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2, in the next generation of Quest 3 devices. The chip not only supports up to four 4K display outputs, but also has powerful CPU and GPU capabilities to ensure smooth operation without delay when dealing with heavy tasks. In addition, up to 12 tracking cameras are integrated to achieve fine eye tracking and hand interaction.

Although Quest 3 has shown amazing speed, there is still a gap compared with the Vision Pro with desktop M2 chip. If Meta can match the performance and visual quality of Quest 3 while maintaining the design characteristics of the Quest Pro series, while achieving a lighter weight, then this VR head display is expected to win wide market recognition with its fully upgraded experience, surpassing the achievements made by its predecessors.

AI technology

Artificial intelligence (AI) technology is expected to play a central role in Meta's virtual reality (VR) strategy, and its influence goes far beyond the application of ChatGPT in the field of text and image generation. As an immersive medium, VR helmet completely breaks the limitations of the physical world.

Meta AI technology has successfully enabled Ray-Ban smart glasses to have the ability of image recognition and real-time translation, to answer current affairs questions, and to achieve generative dialogue in a stylish and lightweight sunglasses framework. These achievements are already remarkable, but their potential is even more striking when we turn our attention to a virtual environment driven entirely by computing power. In the VR world, everything you see and hear is driven by AI, and with this intelligence enhancement, any reasonable imagination in theory can be transformed into a real experience in front of you.

In order to specifically describe this prospect, you may wish to refer to the following examples. Meta has demonstrated a highly realistic VR avatar technology, as shown by Shunsuke Saito's sharing on the X platform, which surpasses even the performance of Vision Pro's latest generation of FaceTime characters. In the past, the key factor limiting the wide application of advanced technologies such as Meta was hardware performance bottlenecks. Nowadays, with the rapid progress of chip technology and the increasing complexity of AI algorithm, the real-time rendering of complex scenes becomes more and more feasible, and this restriction is being gradually eliminated.

Release time

Earlier, Meta technology executive Andrew Boz Bosworth revealed in a question-and-answer session at Instagram that the company was actively developing a new generation of VR headset prototypes aimed at exploring the boundaries of what current technology can achieve. This flexible iterative approach enables Meta to quickly adapt to technological development and has a competitive advantage over those companies that have to go through a long R & D cycle before the launch of new products.

If Meta is satisfied with the performance of Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 and LG can supply sufficient micro-OLED screens on time, then Quest Pro 2 could be officially unveiled at the Meta Connect conference in October 2024 at the earliest. However, this expectation is still constrained by many factors, such as the availability of key hardware components and the progress of software development.

Recent updates to the Quest series have shown some positive developments, indicating that Meta's Quest and Reality Labs teams are accelerating the pace of innovation. However, if there is any delay in hardware or software development, the release date of Quest Pro 2 may be postponed to 2025. Even so, you can still look forward to the launch of Quest 3 Lite and Quest 3 this fall.
