Facebook owner MetaNew VR of headphone coming this October, CEO Mark Zuckerberg confirmed during an appearance on Joe Rogan Experience, as reported by Techradar.
Although Meta CEO did not reveal the name of the headset, we can say that it will probably be The Cambrian Project one, the much-anticipated successor to Oculus Task 2. Earlier, Meta said that Project Cambria will be launched in 2022 and October seems like a good time to launch.
The Project Cambria headset could be named Quest Pro, according to several leaks and rumors that also include a line of code in the Oculus mobile app on the iPhone. The Quest Pro (assuming this is the name Meta has decided to use) is set to compete with Apple’s upcoming AR/VR headset.
The headset is said to have built-in face and eye tracking. Face tracking will allow Meta’s VR avatars to mimic actual facial expressions, which could help bring them to life. Eye-tracking, on the other hand, will allow “VR game creators to make better use of Cambria’s processing power. They will do this by only showing the correct areas that the player is viewing. ,” the report said.
As for the display, the device could have a dual mini LED display that offers a 120Hz refresh rate. The Oculus Quest 2 offers an experimental 120Hz refresh rate, and the Quest Pro looks set to improve on that. Quest Pro is expected to be powered by a new processor from Qualcomm, accompanied by 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.
All these features make for a premium device that costs twice as much as the cheapest Oculus Quest 2 model. The estimated price for the upcoming VR headset could be around $799, as claimed in an earlier leak.
