With Apple Vision Pro and Meta Quest 3 in the Market, Mark Zuckerberg Feels Controllers Are Still a Likeable Choice for Serious Gamers

As technology becomes more sophisticated and AI more intelligent, the tech industry often ponders whether a Frankenstein is in the making. The gaming industry, in a similar way, faces waves of new improvements every day that can render the previous generations of products obsolete. While controllers are still sold by the thousands, Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality are now threatening their market.

In a recent podcast with MIT research scientist Lex Friedman, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg talked about AI like Meta Quest 3 and Apple Vision Pro. Ae thinks that controllers will remain the go-to option for serious gamers, at least for the foreseeable future.

Meta Quest 3 and Apple Vision Pro take over virtual reality

Virtual and augmented realities have been the focus of debates for many and Metaverse was among the first to take active measures to penetrate the market with their VR headsets. Meta and its parent Facebook have explicitly maintained that they look forward to creating a virtual universe where physical distance and surrounding situations would take the backseat and let people experience things they cannot in their real lives. The Meta Quest 3 seeks to achieve just this: creating a space where imagination, reality, and simulation become the same.

Zuckerberg thinks “Tactial Feel” changes the game

While there are a huge number of headsets and face computers available in the market, Apple’s step-in marks a huge tremor in the industry. Both the Meta Quest 3 and the Apple Vision Pro aim to revolutionize what you can do via their headsets altogether. Even though Apple’s Vision Pro promises to let people do virtually anything to do, its launch did not highlight the gaming aspect of the device, which Zuckerberg considers to be a vital domain of VR and AR.

The Facebook CEO says Meta is more focused on social interactions, which makes the Meta Quest 3 a viable option for gamers to make use of. He also bottom lines the fact that using a physical controller makes an immense difference in the “tactical feel” of a game and players would continue to want that instead of just waving their hands in the air to do something.

With the tech mogul making such claims, we can only wait and watch if Apple’s Vision Pro or Meta Quest 3 redefines what gaming is or if controllers continue being the serious gamer’s toy.
