Mark Zuckerberg Unfazed by Apple's Vision Pro, Says He Is Excited About Meta's Plans

In an interview with The Verge, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said that he is not worried about Apple's Vision Pro headset, which is expected to be released later this year.

Zuckerberg said that Meta is still ahead of the curve when it comes to augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technology, and that he is excited about the potential of these technologies to change the way we interact with the world.

"We've been working on AR and VR for a long time," Zuckerberg said. "We've invested billions of dollars in research and development, and we have a team of world-class engineers working on this. I'm confident that we're still ahead of the curve, and I'm excited to see what the future holds for AR and VR."

Zuckerberg also said that he is not worried about Apple's vision for AR and VR. Apple has said that it sees AR and VR as tools for productivity and creativity, while Meta sees them as tools for social connection and entertainment.

"I think there's room for both visions," Zuckerberg said. "Apple is focused on productivity and creativity, and we're focused on social connection and entertainment. I think both of these things are important, and I think they can both coexist."

Zuckerberg's comments come as Apple is preparing to release its first AR/VR headset, the Vision Pro. The Vision Pro is expected to be a high-end headset that will be priced for businesses and professionals. Meta, on the other hand, is focused on developing more affordable AR/VR headsets for consumers.

It remains to be seen how the AR/VR market will develop in the years to come. However, it is clear that both Meta and Apple are committed to this technology, and they are both investing heavily in its development. It will be interesting to see how these two companies compete in the years to come, and how their different visions for AR/VR play out.
