The red alert at Meta would it be dissipating since the exit of the competitor ofApple ? If we are to believe the CEO of the firm with the blue thumb, there would have been much more fear than harm. Having tried theApple Vision Prothe VR boss does not hesitate to put forward the arguments of his product against the one that would potentially destroy everything in its path.
The blow seems to have subsided. After the first fears, the first attempts, here is Mr.Zuckerberg speaks on the subject via his page Instagram. It is therefore in a 3 minute video that he declares not to have been impressed by the product ofApplehe who thought that his product would quickly (and technologically) be crushed by the bitten-apple space computer.
He declares in this regard that his Meta Quest 3 is a better value than the VisionProeven that it is “the best product, period”while affirming that it excels and surpasses that ofApple in most common uses of mixed reality.
Zuck outbid by emphasizing that the Quest 3 has real controllersof those which allow access to a much larger content library. He continues by emphasizing the fact that‘it is also possible on Meta Quest 3 to superimpose giant virtual screensthat his helmet is much lighterthat it is wireless, that he owns a wider field of vision and that unlike that ofApplethere is no motion blur (Editor’s note: something we have not noticed to date).
The boss of Meta shows that the video he shared was recorded from a Quest 3demonstrating that it is entirely possible to obtain a correct result with its product, compared to one which is worth almost 7 times its price.
The only positive points Mark remember, these are the definition of VisionPro and eye tracking. A bit of bad faith? Perhaps, still, the majority of his arguments hold water:
- The system Questmore open, allows you to do what theApple Vision Pro does not do: emulation (PSPP, CitraVR), VR gaming from controllers, sport…
- The system Quest allows you to do whatApple Vision Pro fact: watching 3D films, productivity, art…;
- The system Quest does not need to be connected to a wire to work and can be worn for long hours without being uncomfortable.
These 3 points, however, need to be qualified, because if the Quest allows you to do as much (or even more) than theAVPhe doesn’t do it as well! For example, if it is possible to use Word on Quest 3keyboards AZERTY are not taken into account, the same goes for the mouse which is simply recognized as a pointer. Always at Meta and on the question of hand tracking (hand tracking), latency is noticeable and hangs are frequent. Then, viewing 3D films is natively offered in very high quality on the VisionProunlike the system Quest. Finally, the strap provided as standard by Meta is as uncomfortable as the weight of the helmet can beApple…
Yes, Apple is quantitatively no match for Metabut qualitatively, he has nothing to envy him.
Zuckerberg likes to erase these few disparities with its argument n°1: the Meta Quest 3 has unbeatable value for money. And on this precise question, we can only agree with him. As a conclusion, the CEO of Meta affirmed the importance of eye tracking, qualifying the experience ofAVP “very pleasant”, allowing to obtain a “pleasant interface”, and this, before declaring this:
We had these sensors in the Meta Quest Pro. We removed them for Quest 3, and we will reintroduce them in the future.
It is a safe bet, as v62 demonstrated, that the part software of Meta continues to be inspired by whatApple will deliver and vice versa (to the happiness of their respective customers). For part hardwareTHE Quest 4 and the Quest 3 Pro will probably use an eye tracking system. To conclude with theApple Vision Pro, these are the continued efforts of Meta in recent years which have been able to considerably narrow the technological gap between two products which, however, on paper are far from identical.
The latest mixed reality headset is available on the website Meta and on Amazon. The model with 128 GB of storage costs 549.99 euros while the one with 512 GBit is sold at 699.99 euros.
