Spoiler Alert: He prefers Apple’s version. 

What Happened: During the interview, Alexander made it evident that he believes Meta’s Quest is good for people who are “price sensitive” and simply want to dip a toe in the highly-talked-about world of augmented and virtual reality.

He said, “I think Quest is good for kids. I think it’s good for people who are really price sensitive who just want to feel things out and maybe buy it as a present for Christmas.”

The developer said it can still pack some “interesting experiences,” but only if the user likes playing video games on the mobile phone. 

On the contrary, Alexander thinks that if a user actually wants to feel the “most beautiful graphics and most realistic immersive worlds,” Mark Zuckerberg’s headset won’t be able to satisfy them. 

It is pertinent to mention that Alexander is a seasoned metaverse innovator with over 25 years of experience exploring the intersection of art and technology. He has been actively developing Quest headsets for as long as they’ve been around. 

While Meta’s Quest received a huge nay from Alexander, the company’s newest and possibly the fiercest competitor in the AR/VR landscape, Apple’s Vision Pro received praise. 

“Optics are really important in a headset,” stated Alexander, adding that Apple Vision Pro’s biggest advantage is its display capabilities. He also commended the device’s hardware and noted that the Tim Cook-led company tends to put “so much love and energy into making every single element” of a product. 

It’s worth noting that the starting price of Meta Quest 3, the company’s latest headset, is $499, whereas the Vision Pro is almost seven times the price at $3,499.
