What was the name of Meta’s high-end mixed-reality headset launched in October 2022?

Meta launched the high-end mixed-reality headset Meta Quest Pro in October 2022.

Quest Pro was designed as a premium standalone virtual-reality and mixed-reality device rather than as a direct replacement for the less expensive Quest 2. It included outward-facing cameras for color passthrough, allowing users to view digital objects over a live image of their surroundings.

The headset used redesigned controllers, eye tracking, and face tracking, features aimed particularly at professional and collaborative applications. Meta positioned it as part of its broader effort to build hardware and software for immersive computing.

Meta Quest Pro followed products that had previously used the Oculus branding. The Quest 2 launched earlier, in 2020, while the Quest 3 arrived in 2023. Those products are easy to confuse, but Quest Pro is the model associated with Meta’s October 2022 premium launch.
