Meta CEO says in thread, “Quest is better (than Vision Pro)”
A response to criticism of Quest 3 was posted about 4 weeks after the Vision Pro experience was posted.
For the first time in about four weeks, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg took aim at Apple’s extended reality (XR) device ‘Vision Pro’ again. It is pointed out that the meta virtual reality (VR) headset ‘Quest 3’ is superior to the Vision Pro.
CEO Zuckerberg said in a thread on the 8th (local time), “Quest is better (than Vision Pro).” It has been about four weeks since the 14th of last month that he mentioned Vision Pro on social networking services (SNS).
The reason why CEO Zuckerberg responded like this was because of a thread post. According to the U.S. economic media Business Insider, Benedict Evans, a partner at Mosaic Ventures, one of the British venture capital (VC) companies, said on the thread, “Apple is selling devices that Meta wants to reach in 3 to 5 years. “Quest is selling at a price that Apple wants to reach in 3 to 5 years,” he wrote. Although the Quest 3 is cheaper than the Vision Pro, the opinion is that the Vision Pro is a device with better performance than the Quest 3.
In response to this, CEO Zuckerberg indirectly said, “If our devices weigh as much as the Vision Pro in 3 to 5 years, or if motion blur (afterimages) occurs or lacks precision input, it means that we have regressed significantly.” The pros were undervalued.
On the 14th of last month, CEO Zuckerberg posted a video comparing Quest 3 and Vision Pro on his Instagram, saying, “I also used Vision Pro.” At the time, he emphasized that after testing Vision Pro for several days, Quest 3 was more suitable for most cases using mixed reality (MR).
At the time, CEO Zuckerberg emphasized that the price difference between Quest 3 ($499, approximately 660,000 won) and Vision Pro ($3,499, approximately 4.6 million won) was seven times different, and that the weight of Quest 3 was 120g lighter.
In particular, he claimed that Vision Pro shows some motion blur on the screen when moving, but Quest 3 provides a clearer screen and that Quest 3 has a better hand tracking function.
