There's the meta quest pro which released last week, but the tech for something in the same price range as the Quest 2 but better probably isn't a thing yet. The Quest 2 did have a $100 price increase 6 months ago.
- andybak 4y agoCarmack was arguing for a cheaper, lighter headset instead of the Quest Pro: https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2022/10/carmack-wants-a-250-vr-headset-to-counterpoint-the-1499-quest-pro/ https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2022/10/carmack-wants-a-250-v... > As a "counterpoint" to the push for the Quest Pro in the Meta offices, Carmack says he "personally still [tries] to drum up interest internally in this vision of a super cheap, super lightweight headset." His rallying cry, he says, is a target of "$250 and 250 grams" for a headset that cuts out as many extraneous features as possible while still being usable (the Quest Pro weighs 722 grams, while the Quest 2 is 503 grams). That could help bring "super light comforts" to "more people at low-end price points."
- karmakaze 4y agoThis reminds me of the Woz/Jobs divergence--Apple under Jobs did well. Without experiencing Project Cambria/Quest Pro, I can still imagine the hard-to-believe-it's-not-real feeling of presence with the incremental improvements + real-time facial expressions. That does seem important to be able to demonstrate. I haven't as yet heard reviews that express this though.
