Quest Pro wasn't a bad idea, it was just poor execution. With Apple Vision Pro priced at $3500, here's why Meta should try again:

    The confusing part is that it’s looking like the Quest Pro has better controllers (tracked completely independently of the HMD), Quest Pro potentially has the better screens, but Quest 3 will have better GPU performance.

    For a purely/predominantly Airlink player, could the QP still be the better option? An open question would be if the Q3’s improved performance yields better Airlink/VD decode performance.

    “Making people want to afford it before making it affordable” will likely go down as the smartest move Apple is making with the AVP.

      If that is such a great idea why is Quest doing so extremely well compared to PCVR right now?

      I think the issue is more that we need both. There will not be any incentive for anyone to make any VR software if there are not users and clearly even the current VR headsets are of interest to enough people that you can build a market if you have a price they can afford.

      Meta exclusively focusing on Quest and dropping Rift completely was what really was bad for VR.
