Project Cambria: All there is to know about Meta's rumored Oculus Quest Pro

techradar.com:

Following the groundbreaking success of the Oculus Quest 2, 2022 is set to be a gigantic year for virtual reality and augmented reality headsets. And at the heart of the burgeoning scene is expected to be Project Cambria, an in-development headset from Meta (né Facebook), following on from the successes of its Oculus product line.

First announced at the Meta Connect conference in October 2021, Project Cambria is thought to be what many have previously referred to as the Oculus Quest Pro – a high-end virtual reality and augmented reality hybrid headset, distinct from the Oculus Quest 2 (and eventual Oculus Quest 3) in being a device aimed at and priced for the pro and enthusiast end of the mixed-reality market.

Meta boss Mark Zuckerberg described it as “a completely new advanced and high-end product,” which will sit “at the higher end of the price spectrum.”

Project Cambria is likely to represent the cutting edge of what’s currently possible in wireless virtual reality, unrestricted by the affordability constraints that other Oculus headsets were penned in by as Facebook / Meta looked to prove interest in widespread VR adoption.

With Apple said to also be working on high-end virtual and augmented reality devices, not to mention the imminent launch of the PlayStation VR 2 headset from Sony, Meta will be looking to shore up its position right across the spectrum of all things VR.

Interested? You should be. Here’s everything you need to know about Project Cambria so far.

Despite much of what Project Cambria has to offer being shrouded in secrecy, we surprisingly have a release window for the device already in place. Meta has committed to a 2022 release for the headset.

When precisely that launch will take place is hard to pin down.
