“It's going to be compatible with Quest, but Cambria will be a completely new, advanced, and high-end product and it'll be at the higher end of the price spectrum too.”

Promise Technology

Meta will release Cambria as a Quest-compatible, advanced, high-end headset priced at the higher end of the spectrum.

Delivered on time The record shows it happened or was so.

Promise: Commitments to the person's or organisation's own future action, with something to deliver: was it delivered?

The second judge would not resolve this claim; the verdict shown is the first judge's.

Said for an organisation they lead or work for; it counts on both records.

What would count as true or false

No deadline is given; judge by 31 Dec 2022 (it was presented as coming in 2022). True: Meta released the headset developed as Cambria (under any brand, e.g. Quest Pro) as a high-end device compatible with the Quest platform and priced well above Meta's mainstream Quest headsets. Mostly true: released as described with a minor difference in detail. Mostly false: only announced or previewed, or released after 2022. False: the Cambria project was cancelled, or the released device was not Quest-compatible or not high-priced.

Set before the research began.

  1. E1 Mixed Reality For Real: Meta Quest Pro Is Now Available Meta (meta.com blog) · 25 October 2022 Own record

    “Meta Quest Pro is available today for $1,499.99 USD. That price includes the headset, two self-tracking Meta Quest Touch Pro controllers, stylus tips, partial light blockers, and a charging dock.”
  2. E2 The Meta Quest Pro is a cutting-edge headset looking for an audience The Verge · 11 October 2022

    “They use the same familiar layout, and both the Quest Pro and its controllers are backward-compatible with all Quest 2 titles — you can buy a set of the controllers for $299 and use them with the Quest 2, too.”
  3. E3 The Meta Quest Pro is a cutting-edge headset looking for an audience The Verge · 11 October 2022

    “Meta will continue selling the Quest 2, putting the Quest Pro in a separate high-end category.”
  4. E4 Meta Quest Pro reviews: What the first testers say MIXED News · 30 October 2022

    “The Quest Pro, Meta's first device in a new category, was released on October 25. The product line is aimed at businesses and professional users and complements the Meta Quest 2 consumer device.”

Reasoning

MIXED News reports that the Quest Pro, the device the resolution criteria name as Cambria's possible brand, was released on October 25, 2022 as Meta's first device in a new category, aimed at businesses and professional users and complementing the Quest 2 (E4). Meta's availability post gives a price of $1,499.99 (E1). The Verge reports that the headset and its controllers work with all Quest 2 titles, and that Meta put the Quest Pro in a separate high-end category above the Quest 2 (E2, E3). None of the quotes names Cambria directly, so the link to Quest Pro rests on the criteria's own example; on that basis the headset was released before the end of 2022 as a Quest-compatible, high-end, high-priced device.
