Meta, the parent company of Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram, used the start of its Meta Connect conference to showcase new hardware and its vision for the business metaverse.
The overall aim is to offer a collaborative workspace capable of combining virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR) and online video conferencing in an immersive collaborative workspace that also provides access to enterprise software.
The hardware is Meta Quest Pro, a VR headset. According to Meta, it’s the first in a line of high-end devices designed for collaboration and productivity. The firm pitches the headset as being able to let users feel more present even when they are physically apart.
