Apple’s Vision Pro mixed reality headset was unveiled in June at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), challenging the dominant VR manufacturer Meta. The Mark Zuckerberg-led company now appears to be gearing up to compete with the Apple Vision Pro headset. Meta has reportedly teamed up with LG to bring a new mixed-reality headset. The upcoming headset could debut in 2025 as the successor to Meta’s high-end Quest Pro virtual reality headset. The resulting headset is expected to cost around $2,000 (approximately Rs. 1,65,900).
As noted by UploadVR, a report from Maeil Business Newspaper states that Meta is working with LG to build future versions of the Quest Pro headset. LG Electronics will reportedly handle production of the future Quest Pro headset. It could use display components from LG Display, and LG Energy along with LG Innotek reportedly provide batteries and other components. The high-end headset will reportedly be called “Meta Quest 4 Pro”.
Meta’s first LG collaborated headset model will reportedly go official in 2025 and could be priced around $2,000. The social media company’s flagship VR headset Meta Quest Pro is currently on offer for $999.99 (nearly Rs. 82,000), down from its launch price of $1,499.99 (nearly Rs. 1,23,000).
In addition to the rumored Meta Quest 4 Pro, the Facebook owner is reportedly looking to launch a low-cost Quest headset in 2024. It is said to cost less than $200 (approximately Rs. 16,000). The Oculus Quest 2 VR headset that debuted in 2020 is currently selling for $299.99 (almost Rs. 24,600).
Meta has collaborated with multiple consumer electronics companies in the past to release various headsets. The Oculus Go was launched as a joint venture between Meta and Xiaomi. The Oculus Rift S is manufactured and co-designed by Lenovo.
Meta is expected to position the upcoming high-end Quest Pro virtual reality headset against the latest Apple Vision Pro headset. The latter was showcased at Apple’s WWDC event in June. It costs $3,499 (approximately Rs. 2,88,500) and will go on sale in the US from 2024. It runs visionOS and features two high-resolution micro OLED displays. It is powered by Apple’s M2 and a new R1 chipset.
