Code points out that Meta’s upcoming expensive VR goggles will be named Quest Pro

Code in the Meta Quest app’s iOS app hints that Meta’s Project Cambria headset is going to be named Quest Pro. The company’s previous headsets were called Oculus Quest and Quest 2. Meta has teased the headset, but has not yet announced it.

The name appeared in the code of the Meta Quest’s iOS app, writes Bloomberg based on information provided by Steve Moser of The Tape Drive. Moser himself has not yet published on it at the time of writing. The string in the code specifies ‘Pair Meta Quest Pro right controller’, a reference to pairing a controller with the headset.

Meta announced Cambria in November. It was previously known that the Project Cambria would be equipped with cameras that capture the environment in color, so that wearers can see the world around them and the headset can also be used for AR playback. The glasses would have two 2.48″ mini-LED screens with a resolution of 2160 by 2160 pixels. These are screens of approximately 4.5×4.5cm with a density of around 1230 pixels per inch. Some time ago, an analyst had renders made to show what Cambria would look like.

The headset should be released this year. Meta currently only has the Quest headsets in its range. The last of these came out at the end of 2020. Meta previously released headsets under the Oculus brand. The Cambria would be priced well above $800, possibly over $1,000. According to Bloomberg, Meta usually announces hardware in October.
