A Cinema, Courtside Seat, and Workspace in Just 100 Grams
Meta announces Meta VR Glasses, a featherweight VR headset (~100g) that combines personal cinema, live immersive sports, and a private workspace. The two-part system uses a puck for compute and a tether for power, allowing five hours of playback and 3D cinema via IMAX Enhanced certification. The glasses integrate Meta AI to control apps and search via eye-tracking and gestures, removing the need for controllers. Partnerships with major streaming and sports providers expand the available catalog, including 3D titles and immersive sports experiences. Set to launch in Spring 2027 at $1,299.99, the device aims to blend entertainment, productivity, and gaming in a single wearable, potentially redefining where and how people consume media and work on the go.
