Meta has unveiled plans for "VR Glasses" set to launch next year, priced at $1,299. These sleek glasses, described as a slim alternative to Meta's Quest headset, are slated for release in "Spring 2027." Departing from the traditional headset design, these glasses boast an external processing puck, making them a more compact option.
Weighing just 100g, they are about one-fifth the weight of Meta's Quest 3 headset. The glasses feature 5K displays, powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon Reality Elite chipset, providing advanced visual features like Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, and IMAX Enhanced content. Disney+, ESPN, NBC Sports, and MLB are among the platforms set to offer VR experiences soon.
Particularly, ESPN will bring 8K streaming with college football, and more is forthcoming. The VR Glasses will operate hands-free, leveraging hand gestures and virtual keyboards. Despite their advanced features, the devices will charge fully within 45 minutes via a 45W fast charger.
