Meta, the parent company of Facebook, may be a little shaken by its latest financial results, Mark Zuckerberg wants to believe that the firm’s efforts on Metavers will eventually lead to a huge influx of cash in the near future. Desire, which remains purely theoretical for now, largely explains the price of the Meta in freefall since yesterday. However, after just having released the Quest Pro, a Metavers helmet priced at €1,799.99, the firm is announcing on the sidelines of its latest data that another helmet (probably the Meta Quest 3) will be released in 2023.
Meta Quest 3 arriveon can take over some features from Quest Pro.
The date of the presentation is not yet known, but on It can be assumed that the presentation of new headphones will coincide with the annual Connect event organized by the company. We’ve known for weeks that Meta is indeed preparing a helmet for Quest 3. But on learns today that the price of this headset will be significantly lower than the Quest Pro. The firm is reportedly targeting a $300 to $500 range, which seems more phase with what the company taught us in previous versions of the Quest, such as the Quest 2 sold for 449.99 euros. However, Meta plans to make the product significantly more interesting than the previous generation. And, whyon understands, taking into account the price, it can even compare favorably on many points with Quest Pro. During the call, Mark Zuckerberg pointed out that some of the $1,799.99 headset’s features could find use in this cheaper headset. Among other things, we are talking about focusing on eye-tracking. Therefore, the product may include new, flatter “pancake” lenses to provide this tracking. During the same Meta financial results update, on learned that Reality Labs, division from Meta, which builds on the firm’s Metaverse ambitions, is blaming a $3.7 billion loss in the third quarter of 2022. This figure is up from a net loss of $2.8 billion in the same quarter last year, but also represents a jump from an operating loss of $2.8 billion last quarter. This persistence in the challenge presented by the Metaverse is costing the Meta dearly. Especially since the group’s advertising revenue is melting like snow in the sun amid new rules that are more protective of privacy, introduced both by states like the RGPD in Europe and by companies like the functionality that makes it very easy to block tracking. and iPhone ad targeting.
