Meta is using AI to enhance the mixed-reality experience this time. The direction is right, but the $999 price tag is still aimed at hardcore users; ordinary consumers will have to wait for the next generation.

Higher resolution, a wider field of view, and greater comfort are all standard upgrades. What really makes people curious is how reliable that AI real-time translation actually is in noisy environments.

I don't know whether the metaverse can succeed, but Meta's one-two punch of hardware, AI, and Llama 4 has at least given developers and users a reason to keep playing.

There are quite a lot of enterprise partners, though. If remote collaboration could really project a person like in a sci-fi movie, there would definitely be plenty of corporate group orders.

$999 for this? It still feels a bit expensive, but judging by the specs, it is indeed quite a bit better than the previous generation.

Honestly, the Quest 2 I have at home has been collecting dust for a year. No matter how good the Pro 2 is, I’ll still have to see whether it has any major exclusives at launch—otherwise I’ll just end up watching Netflix on it.

The real-time translation feature is really useful. In the future, you can just wear the headset when meeting with foreigners, instead of switching back and forth on your phone.

The stock price only rose 2.8%? The market reaction is somewhat lukewarm, suggesting people still aren’t buying into the metaverse concept. More explosive applications are needed.

The key is Llama 4’s integration with development tools, right? The barrier to creating AR/VR applications will be much lower in the future, giving small teams a chance to come up with fun use cases too.
