TheMeta Quest Prowas almost definitely a flop.

But to kick things off, lets look at one feature it should scrap, eye-tracking.

We kinda knew this already.

However, Im here to say we dont need to see it anytime soon.

Eye-tracking on the Quest Pro is pointless.

Meta Quest 3

The Meta Quest 3 doesn’t have eye-tracking, and doesn’t need it

The Vision Pro has started to make it a bit more relevant by incorporating eye-tracking into its hand-tracking system.

So thats another point against eye-tracking.

Way better passthrough

The biggest letdown of the first Meta Quest Pro was its passthrough.

Mixed reality is good, but it could be better

It was as if the world had been recorded on a slightly worn VHS tape.

Meta greatly improved its headset’s passthrough quality with theMeta Quest 3.

There are rumors it will also support micro-OLED panels and I hope it does.

In contrast, the Vision Pro has a jam-packed streaming library plus easy 3D video access through Disney Plus.

Getting 3D films onto your Quest is a lot more tedious.

Im hoping this means something is in the works, but well have to wait and see.

When I tested the headset for ourHTC Vive XR Elite review, it overall left me disappointed.

If you arent moving around much, then being tethered isnt that big of an issue anyway.

This design feature is honestly great so I really want to see it in an equally great headset.
