This brings back vague memories of that one time an Apple engineer left behind an iPhone 4 prototype at a bar…..
The Meta Quest Pro headset is set to launch next month, and it’s believed to have many features in common with the upcoming Apple headset expected to be launched early next year. We already knew the name, and it now appears we know what both the device and its packaging look like, thanks to a careless employee.
Although the box was labeled “Engineering sample,” both the finish and the packaging suggest that this is the final version, rather than an earlier prototype.
The headset is black plastic, with gray surrounds for three cameras on the front of the device. These are expected to allow the Quest Pro to mix both virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) content.
Appropriately enough, the video was posted on Facebook (though the platform’s notoriously awful video compression may explain the quality).
Security researcher Kevin Beaumont tweeted that the device was left in a hotel room, and reposted the video on Twitter.
