Meta Quest Pro headset

The Quest Pro is a mixed reality headset from Meta Platforms (formerly known as Facebook). It has a flat focus. It leaves the user's periphery open, which makes it pleasant to use in MR mode.

It uses pancake lenses.

It uses a modified halo headband design.

It is a standalone headset with the computer built into it.

The Quest Pro was Meta's first gadget to have full color passthrough.

The Quest Pro is targeted towards professionals, but it requires a smartphone app to setup and activate, which limits its usefulness.

It weights 722 grams.[1]

Software

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

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.
