Meta has shelved the premium model it developed to directly compete with Apple Vision Pro in the field of VR / AR headsets.
Meta, one of the companies that invests the most in VR and AR headsets, has been present in this field for years with its Meta Quest models. However, competition in this field has recently become much more serious. Because Apple also released its first VR/AR headset. Apple’s entry into this market with Vision Pro also mobilized Meta. As a matter of fact, the company has started working on a more premium VR / AR headset that will directly compete with Apple Vision Pro. However, Apple Vision Pro’s difficulties due to its high cost deterred Meta from this project. The coming end newsshows that Meta has shelved the new VR/AR headset it developed as a rival to Vision Pro.
Meta’s VR department has been trying to reduce the cost of this headset to under $1000 for a while. However, the extreme cost of microLEDs used in Vision Pro made this impossible. This showed that it will not be possible to reduce the cost of the device below $ 1500 in the near future. Meta, who accepted that it would not be possible for them to be successful with a 2000-2500 dollar title, while even the Apple Vision Pro, which was sold for 3500 dollars, failed, at the end of the day, they gave up on this project.
Apple seems to have given up on this Pro title passion anyway. News from Apple says that the company has started to focus on the lower-cost version of Vision Pro instead of Vision Pro 2.
