EXAMINING META’S FUTURE VR AND AR DEVICES
Meta’s upcoming VR and AR devices are generating buzz in the tech world, with specific timelines and details emerging for the first time. The Quest 4 is rumored to come in standard and premium versions, internally known as "Pismo Low" and "Pismo High." Additionally, a high-end device codenamed "La Jolla" is expected in 2027, aiming to rival the Apple Vision Pro. Notably missing from the report is Ventura, a more budget-friendly headset potentially set for release later this year.
META’S EXPANSION INTO AR GLASSES
In addition to VR headsets, Meta is poised to introduce AR glasses featuring a legitimate display. However, doubts have been raised about these glasses, which are said to weigh a hefty 70g and have a bulky design due to the display. The chunkiness may lead to these glasses not carrying the Ray-Ban branding, as the parent company, EssilorLuxottica, reportedly expressed reservations.
CHALLENGES OF DESIGNING AR GLASSES WITH DISPLAYS
The issue of bulky design in AR glasses with displays is not new, as many companies have struggled to balance size, battery life, and style. Miniaturizing displays for comfortable wearability while maintaining adequate battery power is a significant challenge. Most AR glasses sacrifice style for functionality, a key barrier to consumer adoption in the market.
