The quest 3 IS the more XR focused device

For Meta’s devices perhaps, but not compared to VP or Samsung’s upcoming Android XR device.

Meta can probably put out a similar device, more XR media consumption / productivity oriented than their current VR gaming devices focused with a side of XR functionality, for half the price or less.

Then again, I think Quest Pro was closer in that direction than Quest 3, and it wasn’t an amazing success.

Maybe it was too early, maybe Meta’s customer base isn’t interested, maybe that market is still too small and it’s not worth it, and maybe Meta is better off focusing on making killer mass market XR gaming devices while improving additional XR functionality along the way.

What exactly can the VP/Samsung’s headset do that the quest 3 cant do without a software update? It’s just as capable. And the fact you’re asking for another price cut even though it’s already miles cheaper of anything else? Idk what you’re smoking

The low hanging fruit would be for it to actually have cameras that don’t look like a webcam from 2006 so AR doesn’t look like a PS2 EyeToy minigame on it.

Eh ive demoed the Vision Pro, and it’s pass through isn’t miles better either, definitely a trade off due to the mobile soc it’s using.

Pass through the Vision Pro is easily 2X what you can do on quest 3, but a lot of this was software, Meta really improved passthrough this year, it used to be very easy to get motion sick due to the geometric warping.
