The Meta Quest 4 is here and it’s brilliant, but it’s not called what I thought it would

Meta Connect took place this week and CEO Mark Zuckerberg had a lot of fantastic news to share with XR (Extended Reality) enthusiasts. For example, the Meta Quest 4 is now a reality. Well…sort of. It’s not exactly called the Quest 4, and neither is it marketed as such, but it definitely serves as a spiritual — and much more capable — successor. Say hello to the Meta VR Glasses Wait, doesn’t Meta already make glasses with Ray-Ban and Oakley? They do, but those aren’t fully capable of true VR...

That was the worst news I have got in a long time.

I just want a faster, OLED version of the Quest 3, with a slight increase in resolution and perhaps 130 degree FOV and better cameras.

Then they serve this ridiculously low FOV. Totally irrelevant product independent of price and form factor.

Quest 4 is still very likely to happen, and I'm with you. Give me better FOV thann the Q3 and OLED and I'll be happy. The Q3 FOV is good/almost great, it needs even just a 10 degree bump to be remarkable.

Come on, it's basically Meta Quest Pro 2. Anybody still remember the Quest Pro? https ://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta_Quest_Pro


Pro was also eye-tracking, glasses-like (no surrounding blinders), black and very goggles look from the front, and> $1K.


Otherwise, the normal Quest line is dedicated to low-cost, accessible hardware.

This is a separate line of products and will coexist at the same time as Quests. I never like grifter headlines generating outrage out of nothing.
