Meta set October 11 as the date for its Meta Connect conference just last week,Discuss Section but today we may have gotten an early look at the virtual reality tech it plans to unveil there.
A Facebook gaming page posted a hurried unboxing video of what they claim is the Meta Quest Pro. It's unclear how they acquired it, but it looks legit.
SEE ALSO: The Meta Quest 2 is a pain to wear. Here's how I made mine comfortable.This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.
Here are a few takeaways from the video:
Updated controllers: Gone are the plastic rings housing infrared LEDs for tracking. Instead, it looks like each controller has now two cameras to enable tracking: one facing the user and one facing out and away, toward a light source. The textured thumb pad sensor on the control panel seems to be absent, replaced by a downward sloping plane that may be an ergonomic upgrade. A set of three lights (or sensors?) have been added above the grip button. Other than those changes, the design looks nearly identical to the Quest 2 controllers, and there doesn't seem to have been any adjustments made to make them less slippery in your hand.

The Meta Quest Pro is expected to be used at work, and a slimmer, lighter design will make it much easier to wear for longer periods of time.

Images on the box appear to show a charging dock and a cord.

We don't see one in this video, and we didn't see one last week in a photo Zuck dropped of himself wearing what looked like the Meta Quest Pro. That means you will almost certainly need to leave room in your budget to buy one from a third party.

But what really matters is the tech on the inside, which we're all but certain to learn more about on October 11.
