At this year’s Meta Event, everyone was talking about the Quest Pro, but the company also talked about a few other products and updates that are worth noticing. Meta didn’t just show off a new virtual reality device; it also talked about all the ways it was trying to grow the metaverse, such as by working with other tech companies, making licensing deals with media giants, and giving avatars new body parts.
Here’s all the information you need about Meta Event 2023
1. Meta Quest Pro
Meta Quest Pro was the main highlight of this Meta event 2023. Meta’s much-anticipated workplace software, Quest Pro, is a big step up from the older Quest 2. It costs $1,499, which is about right. Modern pancake optics give 75% more contrast than the Meta Quest 2, and the device itself is smaller and lighter than the Meta Quest 2. This is partly because the lenses are flat and pancake-shaped, but it’s also because the battery has been moved from the front of the device to the back, where it curves to rest against your head.
Full-color mixed reality means that graphics will be laid on top of the real world around you. A virtual workspace looks like screens in front of you and your living room just behind them. There are also light-blocking gaskets that can be added to the device. The magnets that hold them together make it easy to take them off, so you can see what’s around you as you move through a virtual world.
Meta hopes that this will make interactions in the metaverse more real and lifelike by letting avatars track your eyes and make more natural facial expressions. The Pro comes with new controllers that come with a stylus tip that can be taken off and used to write and draw in virtual reality. With new sensors, you can move in all directions, and new haptics makes the virtual world feel even more real.

2. Cameo by Microsoft
A big part of Zuckerberg’s meta event speech was about how VR devices could be used at work. He talked about how Meta worked with Autodesk, Adobe, and Accenture to give their remote workers access to the metaverse.
Then Satya Nadella, the Chairman and CEO of Microsoft, met with Zuckerberg to talk about a new partnership between the two tech giants that they hope will make VR the future of work. In Quest 2 and Pro, you will be able to use Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Windows 365, Microsoft Intune, and Azure Active Directory. Your Meta Avatar can also be used in Teams. Meta’s current product, Workroom, will get a new feature called “breakout groups,” sticky notes for virtual whiteboards that are already in the program, and integration with Zoom. There will also be four types of “personal environments,” on top of which you can put three virtual screens to make a virtual reality workspace.

3. Media/Gaming
Meta is teaming up with NBCUniversal to connect the Peacock app with virtual worlds from The Office, Halloween Horror Nights, and Dreamworks. Vishal Shah, Meta’s VP of the Metaverse, said in a meta event that fans may personalize their avatars in Horizon Worlds and Universal Studios theme parks.
No release date has been specified for Xbox Cloud Gaming as part of Meta’s relationship with Microsoft. Other gaming announcements include Marvel’s Iron Man VR coming to Meta Quest 2 on Nov. 3.
Among Us, VR launches on Meta Quest 2 on Nov. 10 and promises “all the intensity and thrill of the original ” The game’s top-down view will convert to first-person, which will increase difficulty. Now accepting pre orders.
The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners, Chapter 2: Behemoth, another game from the firm, is being created for VR. Meta is releasing a Quest 2 Active Pack for sweaty workouts. This feature bundle was announced a year ago, according to The Verge.
4. Future Tech
At this year’s Meta event, some of the exploratory techs we saw last year were back, but it’s still in the works. Michael Abrash, the chief scientist at Reality Labs, showed off a prototype of a wrist-worn device that reads electrical signals in your muscles to control actions on a screen. Since VR controllers are bulky, this has a lot of potential, but it’s not clear how Meta plans to use the tech in the future, if at all.
Conclusion
Meta event 2023 showed how hard the social media giant is working toward the metaverse and, some would say, how well it is doing so. I know that investing in a new business opportunity is risky and not right for every investor. But I love Meta’s willingness to try new things and be an entrepreneur. And I can’t wait to find out more about the Oculus Quest Pro VR/AR headset and how Meta is working with Microsoft. Visit the official website of Findwyse to get more information about the meta event.
