Meta's new VR goggles are a major upgrade on Apple's failed Vision Pro. Way cheaper ($1300 vs $3500), lighter (they feel like heavy glasses, not a helmet); better interface. But primary use case is still “watching movies by yourself.” My hands-on: https://www.businessinsider.com/ ...

Meta debuts Meta VR Glasses, a ~100g VR headset with an external compute pack, three-hour battery life, ~2.5K resolution per eye, on sale spring 2027 for $1,299 (Mark Gurman/Bloomberg) https://www. bloomberg.com/news/articles/20…

I thought Meta's approach to AR was pivoting towards transparent glasses with displays in the vein of Ray Ban Display and Orion (I realize that "VR" is in the title, but almost all the images show AR use cases). Their original vision for AR was to have people walking around with quest headsets in passthrough mode. But that's just too weird for the…

NEW: Meta announces META VR glasses. We're looking at the future! 100G on your face. 5x lighter than the Quest 3. This is Meta's direct shot at competing with the Vision Pro. Full VR immersion glasses. The tech race is on! This is what the next form factor of the AVP will be too

It’s rather astonishing to me how the vampire squid of world domination has apparently worked out just how to neutralize any sense of self-preservation, and manipulate and gaslight anything into place if they have enough time and are patient.Everything from “freedom sticks” to get women to breath in smoke and ash like the foolish men, to going…

Meta has new audio-only Ray-Ban glasses, VR glasses that no longer look like a nerd helmet and a new voice-and-video mode for its Muse AI agent. I sat down with @finkd to talk about it all. And yes, we got into trust, privacy and that tiny matter of whether AI might kill us...

Meta’s new VR Glasses are poised to take on the Vision Pro, but they have a few advantages over Apple's pricey headset. For one, they will cost $1,299 at launch next spring: https://www. pcmag.com/news/hands-on-with-m etas-vr-glasses-an-apple-vision-pro-killer

It’s HoloLens reinvented I guess.What problem does it solve? I see a bunch of potential uses but I don’t see any problems looking to be solved.Will I like gaming better if I control the games with my hands instead of a controller?Will I like working in my glasses better than my laptop screen? Or even a dual laptop screen like a ZenBook Duo? Or a…

Vision Pro getting some *strong* competition in Meta’s new VR Glasses, at almost a third of the price, which should be a wake up call for Apple to put its foot back on the gas

Looks like superb hardware, and contrary to many others the use cases this is designed for look actually worth it. "AVP but lighter and cheaper" or "looks designed for trains or planes" . . . well, obviously.The key problem is it's Meta. People don't even trust other people near them to use Meta hardware, and the way they dealt with Oculus users…

The Holodeck is here. 1/6th the weight of Apple Vision Pro. Technically VR, just like Apple Vision Pro, but I will get a pair if they work with my eyes. (Which Meta's Raybans with Displays do not). Big day for what I've been talking about for years.

I had an Oculus Quest and it was a really great device. After the "Meta" rebrand, the quality rapidly decreased and now it wants me to upload my ID to Meta to keep using it. Absolutely not! Zuckerberg already has way too much information on me, uploading my state issued identification to them is such an insane ask, I will never do it. While this…

Coming from Quest 3, everything about it sounds great BUT for that FOV. Even on Quest with 103 x 96, I sometimes feel like I'm looking around through a mask or binoculars. Can't imagine how restrictive it might be on 70 x 66.Hopefully it's not so bad.Oh BTW they showed a new Beat Saber game, and among the logos I've seen Ace Attorney VR among a…

Meta has killed Vision Pro Personas with its new Holograms on its VR headset and display Ray-Bans. The first time I used it I joked that it wasn't working because it was so realistic. I had no idea it was AI.
