The first images of Meta's Project Phoenix mixed reality headset have leaked — and there's a reason it's so thin and light
We've got our first proper look at Meta Project Phoenix and the headset looks more like a pair of smart glasses.
Meta's Project Phoenix mixed reality headset has leaked, revealing a thin and light design. The device, set to launch in 2027, was discovered in the Horizon OS software for Meta Quest devices. The leaked images show the headset more resembling smart glasses than traditional headsets, with cameras on the front instead of transparent lenses.
Attached to the headset is a cable, suggesting that it is connected to a battery and processing power elsewhere, which helps keep the device lightweight. The prescription lens fitting feature in the software indicates the headset's potential for personalized use. The official unveiling of Project Phoenix is expected at Meta Connect on September 23.
