Meta’s upcoming high-end headset will be called Quest Pro, according to a code.
Project Cambria is the public code name for Meta’s next headset, announced at Connect 2021† it will be sold together with Quest 2 with a price tag “significantly” higher than $800targeting teleworkers and early adopters of mixed reality. In October, Meta confirmed that it had already shipped development kits.
Project Cambria doesn’t have an official product name yet, but dataminer Steve Moser recently found the string “Pair Meta Quest Pro Right Controller” in a new update to the Oculus iPhone app and shared this finding with Bloomberg†
Bloomberg’s article also claims that Quest Pro will have “much better graphics processing and power” than Quest 2.
Quest Pro seems to have a more balanced design than Quest 2 with a slimmer visor, achieved by using pancake lenses instead of fresnel lenses. It has higher resolution cameras with color and depth sensor for mixed reality, as well as built-in face and eye tracking to drive avatars in social experiences like workrooms†
in April, a prominent supply chain analyst claimed: Quest Pro will have dual 2160×2160 Mini-LED LCD panels, from the less than 1832×1920 pixels per eye from Quest 2† Import logs for apparent development kits suggest it will have 12GB of RAM, up from Quest 2’s 6GB.
In a company-wide memo shipped last week, Chief Product Officer Chris Cox said Meta is “laser focused on Cambria’s successful launch” this year.
