Quest Pro is Meta's new $1,499 mixed reality headset

Not being snarky, ok maybe a little, but what does one DO with one of these. I keep thinking of 3DTV, great tech that required funny glasses, but the cost and slow adoption meant that there was little content and it collapsed in the marketplace. What’s out there that would get someone interested in one of these? Gaming? They talk of professional uses, but other than a FEW architects, and maybe someone who designs cara/airplanes/tractors I don’t see a huge amount of use. What’s worth Meta pouring billions into this idea?

There are lots of uses in the pro field.

Imagine working in a data centre and trying to quickly locate a disk/PSU that needs replacing. With MR it would be flagged on the headset so that you go right to the effected part because you would 'see' it in real time.

In fact this usage is fairly common right now with mixed reality headsets. 

I can think of lots of other areas where it will be useful. Imagine manufacturing for example. Farming. Ports. Logistics....

This is quite old (things have come a long way since) but it's a quick and dirty example of what can be done
