Meta’s Project Phoenix just leaked, and it looks nothing like a Quest
Project Phoenix looks ready to make bulky headsets feel very yesterday.
Recent leaks from Meta's HorizonOS Prescription Lens app have unveiled what appears to be the highly anticipated Project Phoenix headset, generating excitement ahead of the company's upcoming Meta Connect event on September 23. The leaked images suggest that Phoenix deviates significantly from the conventional design of Meta's popular Quest line, instead opting for a more glasses-like appearance.
Project Phoenix is characterized by its chunky frame and distinctive glasses-style nose pads, which secure the device in place. Sensors are strategically placed around the temples, enhancing the headset's capabilities. The compute puck, responsible for processing the headset's functions, appears to be a separate component.
While the leaked images provide a glimpse of the device's overall design, they do not offer a complete view from the front or demonstrate how the headset would look when worn. This leaves numerous questions unanswered, particularly regarding the size, appearance, and overall design of Project Phoenix.
As Meta Connect approaches on September 23, the leaked images of Project Phoenix may offer an early peek at one of the more intriguing devices Meta could be unveiling. However, until the headset is officially showcased and worn by users, many details remain uncertain. The glasses-like design of Project Phoenix, reminiscent of XREAL Aura glasses, sets it apart from the traditional Quest headsets, sparking curiosity among tech enthusiasts and potential buyers alike.
