   People crave deeper, richer ways of collaborating and co-creating from   
   wherever they are. We believe that in the not-so-distant future, the metaverse   
   will play a key role in providing new ways of connecting. In fact, our Work   
   Trend Index data shows that    
   50% of Gen Z and millennials envision doing some of their work in the   
   metaverse in the next two years.   
      
      
   As a platform company, our approach to workplace productivity and   
   collaboration is to ensure the software experiences we deliver can benefit   
   users on all their favorite devices. In that spirit, today we are announcing   
   several ways we are partnering with    
   Meta to provide customers with more choice and security as they venture into   
   the metaverse.

   This partnership complements our commitment to HoloLens, and we are excited to   
   continue evolving our mixed-reality devices roadmap, leading with our   
   cloud-first approach, and with Windows and Microsoft 365 at the fore. All of   
   this advances our efforts to    
   build the foundations of a responsible metaverse, with security, compliance   
   and enterprise-grade experiences as foundational to how we will continue to   
   unlock new possibilities for the future of work.   
      
      
   Prior to Facebook Connect in October 2022 (during which Facebook, Inc.   
   announced its rebranding as "Meta" to emphasize its development of   
   "metaverse"-related technologies),[5][6] CEO Mark Zuckerberg and CTO Andrew   
   Bosworth posted photos of themselves    
   testing prototype headsets, which they stated to have "Retina resolution"   
   displays (alluding to the Apple Inc. trademark for high-resolution   
   displays),[7] while leaked demo videos and references to an "Oculus Pro"   
   headset were also discovered on the    
   Oculus website and unreleased system software.[8] During the event, Zuckerberg   
   officially announced that the company was developing a headset codenamed   
   "Project Cambria" as part of the Oculus Quest line of products, which would be   
   a high-end product    
   aimed at mixed reality applications, and feature a slimmer design,   
   high-resolution color passthrough cameras, infrared depth sensors, and eye   
   tracking.[9][10]   
      
      
   The Quest Pro received mixed reviews. Ars Technica noted that its design felt   
   less "claustrophobic" and "much more secure and better balanced than previous   
   Quest headsets, especially during extended use", but noting that its narrow   
   field of view was more    
   apparent when using the headset without its light blinder accessories. Its   
   display and lenses were described as being slightly sharper and having more   
   legible text rendering than the Quest 2, making it better-suited for office   
   tasks and using a remote    
   desktop environment in Workrooms. The MR cameras were panned for being grainy   
   and "fuzzy"-looking, while many of the MR features in apps at launch were   
   deemed to be "novelties". It was also criticized for requiring manual room   
   setup, rather than    
   automatically mapping walls. In conclusion, it was felt that "at its current   
   asking price, though, we can only recommend the Quest Pro to mid-level   
   executives who have convinced their superiors to allocate a ridiculous,   
   money-is-no-object budget to ill-   
   defined metaverse projects out of nothing more than a deep sense of FOMO."[18]

   Meta has poured tens of billions of dollars into developing headsets and smart   
   glasses since it purchased VR pioneer Oculus in 2014. CEO Mark Zuckerberg even   
   changed his company's name from Facebook to Meta, though he recently laid off   
   employees working    
   to build his so-called metaverse.   
      
      
   Critics say the company's all-in pivot to virtual reality and the metaverse   
   has been misguided, resulting in a loss of $10 billion in 2021, dips in stock   
   price, significant layoffs, and public mockery. Despite all this, CEO Mark   
   Zuckerberg has leaned    
   into the gamble. When it comes to the enterprise-focused Meta Quest Pro   
   headset, unveiled at this year's Meta Connect conference, that investment may   
   finally be paying off. Both aesthetically beautiful and technically   
   impressive, the Quest Pro is a    
   feather in Meta's VR cap, which is in dire need of embellishment. But under   
   the hood, the Quest Pro operating system still needs a lot of work.   
      
      
   At other times, the operating system felt overly complicated or    
   nderdeveloped. A friend who wanted to sign in to her Meta account on my Quest   
   Pro was directed by the headset to take it off and open the Meta Quest mobile   
   app to reset her password, which    
   kind of defeats the point of the headset. As I attempted to complete a guided   
   "fit test" on the device by adjusting its physical elements, the onscreen   
   directions didn't accurately sync with the changes I was making by hand. And   
   during my very first    
   session in the Quest Pro, I was given zero guidance as to what apps I might   
   want to try, a struggle for first-time users that could easily be fixed with a   
   quick questionnaire that'd procure a curated list of titles.
