Meta officials unveil new VR headset, fallout from LA councilmembers’ racist comments and more

Meta has a broad vision of creating shared personal experiences through the metaverse.

CEO Mark Zuckerberg said his company’s new Meta Quest Pro headset, which sells for $1,499, can replace your gaming device, phone and laptop while also acting as your virtual office.

Zuckerberg unveiled the device Tuesday during Meta Connect Livestream 2022.

The big questions of the device is if the public will use a headset every day and if they have a full understanding of what the metaverse is.

According to a survey by Ipso, 38% of Americans reported they are familiar with the metaverse, but only 16% could correctly define what it means.
