Oculus Quest 2 Pro or Project Cambria?

What the Quest? Project Cambria, Oculus Quest 2 Pro so many rumors are swirling right now. Heres a quick round up of what has recently surfaces as far as specs and release date for project cambria or maybe the quest 2 pro.

The rumors are swirling, the image leaks are falling from the sky so what in the oculus hemmingway is happening???

Supply chain analyst Ming CHi Kuo doubles down on his claims of a quest 2 pro coming in the second half of this year. With two 2160 by you guessed it 2160 mini led panels (you know because they are square), dual element pancake lenses, with facial expression recognition and he believes the headset should ship nearly 2 million units this year. Just in time for a rich person’s christmas. Here’s to you blank check kid.

Now the question we all are asking, is this project cambria zuck bucks was talking about back in october or is it something different? The reality is we just don’t know.

Youtuber and VR data miner extroidanaire Brad Lynch gave his details on what he too believes to be a quest 2 pro from a source that he also knows in the supply chain world that actually was able to use the device. Sounds like I need a supply chain friend, any takers? I can give you an oculus store referral code for 30 bones, don’t spend it all in one place (wink) oh wait.

The headset as bradley’s source describes it has two cameras on the front under each eye for gathering depth data and then 1 high resolution RGB camera in the center, that works in tandem with the 2 depth cameras to create a full color passthrough mode for XR experiences.

His source also confirmed that the field of view is similar to the Quest 2 and that the front is much thinner than the Q2. The IPD adjustment is full movement and smooth rather than the 3 clicky settings we have now and comes with a visual indicator for what your IPD actually is in milimeters. Me I’m a 59.1 and you know what that means..

The source shared that the HMD was very good at facial recognition and was able to track their eyebrows and yes nostril movement.

Sadly though the source did reiterate that it didn’t feel like a big upgrade in the terms of resolution and FOV but was very impressed with the light weight, clarity and form factor. The audio experience was also similar to quest 2.

So basically this may be an xbox one s or playstation slim for your face. 

Finally brad believes it will launch along side a facebook connect presentation in the fall.

Well what you you all think? I mean I still like my Q2 so I’m diamond handing until I see a full iteration but glad to see another VR headset in the works.
