Resident Evil 4, for instance, requires 8.2GB of space. I didn’t see an SD slot anywhere on Quest Pro, so 256GB is a bit scant for me, especially with games getting bigger and bigger. That’s accompanied by the 12GB of RAM with 256GB of storage. Similar to its controllers, the Meta Quest Pro is powered by Qualcomm –– the Snapdragon XR2+ Platform SoC to be exact. Both controllers sport a single analog stick, a side bumper and a back trigger. The button configuration remains the same with the menu, X and Y buttons on the left controller and the Oculus (Home), A and B buttons on the right. And they’re pretty easy on the eyes with their unassuming black matte plastic housing. However, the weight distribution is better and they just feel right in your hand. That’s not to say the previous gen controllers weren’t comfortable, they were. And in another where I was instructed to pick up small balls and crush them, I could feel the tremulous pressure as I adjusted from a slight squeeze to a crushing pressure and the subsequent crack of the object between my virtual fingers.Īnd while they might be heavier than their predecessors, the Quest Pro controllers are more ergonomic. The technology is such that I felt the gentle pressure of a watercolor paintbrush as I gently drew it across the virtual canvas to add some fine detail to my art project demo. The Quest Pro controllers also offer better haptics via the company’s new TruTouch Haptics system. They’re heavier than the Quest 2’s controllers (4.4 ounces, 3.5 x 4.7 inches) and that’s probably because of all the goodies Meta crammed under the black matte plastic housing including a Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 mobile processor, three sensors and rechargeable battery in each device. The controllers weigh 5.4 ounces and measure 5.1 x 2.8 x 2.4 inches. The Meta Quest Pro controllers got visual, technical and upgrades. The headset isn’t the only thing that got a redesign. There is a curly, loc fauxhawk in the Quest Pro’s future when we receive the review unit. No longer will I be relegated to smaller, less elaborate hairstyles when thinking about jumping into VR. All I had to do was pull my braided ponytail and bangs through the horizontal band and let everything hang naturally. I’m curious to see how long I can last in the uber-comfortable Quest Pro.Īnd this might not be a concern for a lot of people, but for my folks out there with big, voluminous hair will be happy to know that the Quest Pro is big hair friendly. In current VR adventures, I can stay in the virtual world for about three hours give or take, allowing for comfort and battery life. A couple twists to the right tightened the headset’s horizontal band, allowing the device to rest comfortably on my head. The fit wheel was a game changer on the PSVR and it’s the same for the Meta Quest Pro. It seems small, but that new measurement will make the headset more accessible to diverse users. Meta has expanded the adjustable IPD range to 55mm - 75mm from the Quest 2’s 58mm - 77mm. Like the Quest 2, the Meta Quest Pro has a lens spacing adjustment mechanism in order to adjust for inter-pupillary distance, The measurement that determines the distance between the center of your pupils, IPD is important for optimal viewing as the wrong IPD can cause image distortion which can make some users ill. It didn’t take long and from there I was ready to explore the brave new world of MR. With that new space made for peripheral vision, I had to retrain myself on actual positioning. ![]() However, the shortened faceplate did take a little bit of getting used to as I’ve become accustomed to pulling HMDs down until it touches the bridge of my nose. But Meta has raised my expectation of comfort as it’s of the lightest, well balanced headsets I’ve had the pleasure of wearing. I’ve never had any complaints about wearing VR headsets that weren’t hair related. ![]() However, if that’s not enough, Meta will have full blockers on sale at a later date. But if the light leakage becomes too distracting you can always slap on the magnetic partial light blockers. Since the Quest Pro is made with MR in mind, there’s a fair amount of open space below the nose piece. That’s in no small part thanks to the new pancake lenses and the curved battery that resides in the device’s rear instead of the front. At 25.4 ounces and 10.4 x 5 x 7.7 inches, this is the slimmest headset Meta has made to date.
