Software[edit]
The Quest Pro runs on a variant of Android.
It requires a Facebook/Meta account to use, which makes it useless for anyone who doesn't want to use an account. This significantly increases the headache associated with development.
It is impossible to put a custom operating system on the device.
It requires the use of an iPhone or Android phone to activate the headset.
The Quest Pro cannot be a universal desktop or laptop replacement, because it requires activation with a smartphone app that is developed on a desktop or laptop computer. It is not a self-developing system.
Passthrough[edit]
The video passthrough on the Quest Pro is spatially accurate and low latency, but grainy. It is generally better than that on the Lynx R1.
