Facebook owner Meta unveils $1,500 VR headset: Will it sell?

Facebook parent Meta unveiled a high-end virtual reality headset on Tuesday with the hope that people will soon be using it to work and play in the still-elusive place called the “metaverse.”

The USD 1,500 Meta Quest Pro headset sports high-resolution sensors that let people see mixed virtual and augmented reality in full colour, as well as eye tracking and so-called “natural facial expressions” that mimic the wearer’s facial movements so their avatars appear natural when interacting with other avatars in virtual-reality environments.
