Meta is hoping to follow the Quest 3 with a cheaper VR headset that ships without controllers as it responds to the upcoming Apple Vision Pro.
Meta is looking down the road at a follow-up to the Quest 3, which is releasing this week, and plans to take cues from Apple’s Vision Pro while it races to mainstream its VR tech. That’s according to Mark Gurman in today’s Power On newsletter for Bloomberg, who writes that the company’s Quest headset marketing plans have changed in response to Apple’s Vision Pro announcement earlier this year. Part of the plan is to release a VR headset without controllers to get the cost down next year.
You could argue that Apple’s headset is more down-to-Earth than immersive virtual worlds, even if its price is very much not. Meta’s roadmap has involved making its next headset, codenamed Ventura, even cheaper — The Quest 3 is already less than 15 percent the cost of a Vision Pro — and more comfortable without sacrificing screen resolution.

Invasive crayfish crisis: Scientists' quest to protect native habitatsIt is not a fair battle: Two scientists on a tiny boat against one of the world's most invasive species.For the past six years, Loyola University Chicago ecologist Reuben Keller and his students have been waging war against red swamp crayfish a non-native threat to the environment.Over the years, Keller's team has set up 200 traps in the Chicago River, and twice a week in summer and fall, they clear them and restock them with a delicacy crayfish simply can't resist: hot dogs.'Hot dogs are really attractive to these crayfish,' Keller told Scripps News. 'So that means that now we purchase and use vast numbers of hot dogs.'SEE MORE: Blood-sucking sea lampreys on the rise in Great Lakes againDuring a recent river outing, Keller and his student Sydney Ware extracted 26 crayfish from the traps and anesthetized them with clove oil a humane method to kill the creatures.Red swamp crayfish outcompete other native species for food and habitat and can cause structural damage to dams and levees.'It doesn't matter what is threatening them. Their response is to rear up or show their claws and they want to fight,' Keller said.The professor says his team has substantially reduced the invasive species in the part of the Chicago River where they deployed the traps, which is good news for the native biodiversity and scientists battling red swamp crayfish worldwide.'What we're discovering here is equally applicable in the Chicago River as it is in other places all around the world where people are trying to catch these crayfish,' Keller said.SEE MORE: Anglers asked to kill invasive fish that can live outside the waterThe creatures used to be kept as science pets in elementary schools and were sometimes sent home with students.

We're going to keep them as pets!' And I'm sure that a lot of parents said, 'Actually, n
