Meta’s next VR device isn’t a headset - it’s glasses

Key Points:

• Meta is launching new VR Glasses that resemble typical eyewear and weigh just 100g, offering a lighter, more approachable alternative to traditional VR headsets like the Quest 3 and Apple Vision Pro.
• The glasses feature a 5K MicroOLED display with 2412 x 2288 pixels per eye, support up to 120Hz refresh rate, and use eye-tracking and hand gestures for navigation, powered by a separate pocket-sized computing puck.
• Designed primarily for entertainment, the VR Glasses offer immersive experiences such as VR-enhanced cinema with Disney and Industrial Light & Magic, VR180 sports viewing, and a hands-first mode for games like Beat Saber, with over 75 games supporting this feature at launch.
• The device also supports productivity use cases, including wireless connection to computers for extended screens and a virtual keyboard and trackpad for typing, making it suitable for light work tasks on the go.
• Priced at $1,299.99, the VR Glasses will be available in spring 2027, positioned between the Quest 3 and Vision Pro, as Meta continues to explore new mixed reality form factors alongside its ongoing VR headset development.
