In the ongoing battle for supremacy in virtual reality, Meta Platforms and Apple are engaged in a heated debate over the merits of their respective headsets, the Meta Quest 3 and Apple Vision Pro. Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta Platforms, has once again taken to Threads to defend his company's product against the criticism surrounding Apple's high-resolution Vision Pro.
Zuckerberg confidently claimed that the Meta Quest 3 not only offers a better price, but is the superior product overall. He dismissed suggestions of similarity between the devices, insisting that the Quest is clearly superior. The Verge reported its response to concerns about possible regressions in Meta's future devices, with Zuckerberg highlighting issues like weight, motion blur, and precision input as key differentiators setting the Quest apart.
In a video showcasing the Meta Quest 3's advanced video pass-through system, Zuckerberg drew attention to the headset's 120-gram weight advantage, making it more comfortable for extended use. He praised the Quest 3's wireless design and wider field of view, suggesting that Apple's Vision Pro sacrifices comfort and mobility in favor of its impressive high-resolution screen.
Launched in October last year at a price of $499.99, the Meta Quest 3 is positioning itself as an attractive alternative to Apple's Vision Pro. Despite the latter's notable features, including two OLED displays with a total of 23 million pixels, Apple's M2 chip, twelve cameras, five sensors, six microphones and Siri integration, Zuckerberg argued that these improvements come at a significant cost – both financially and financially. the Vision Pro cost $3,500, and the compromises made in other aspects.
As competition between Meta and Apple in virtual reality heats up, consumers are faced with the challenging task of weighing the trade-offs and determining which company's vision better aligns with their expectations for immersive technology.
