A Meta decided to take advantage of the annual event of the company on Wednesday, day 23, to officially present new virtual reality glasses. Unlike Quest devices, Meta VR Glasses feature a new design and are also lighter without questioning the capabilities that make aficionados bet on this type of equipment.
The Meta states that the Meta VR Glasses are three times lighter than the Quest 3, with this device to be composed by means of a magnesium alloy that will make longer sessions not result in headaches.
The Meta VR Glasses are equipped with micro-OLED panels and with what the company called 5K Infinite Display, Snapdragon Reality Elite processor and support for Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos.
The Meta says that these virtual reality glasses will allow you to enjoy movies in IMAX format, so if you could not see “The Odyssey” in the format chosen by Christopher Nolan, these devices may be what you are looking for.
Of course, these glasses will have included the company’s digital assistant – Meta AI – so that users can perform tasks through voice. For example, having the VR Meta Glasses synchronized with their streaming services, it will be possible to ask Meta AI to start playing any film from the different catalogs – some of them even in 3D.
“This is revolutionary,” Meta’s co-founder and CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, declared on stage. “Many people agree that increased reality glasses with holograms will clearly be part of the future, but we also hear many people who are not interested in using the equipment. So we created a new type of virtual reality device that offers the same magical sensation of presence and immersion with high resolution screens and world views around you in a format that, for the first time, is a pair of glasses.”.
It is not yet clear when the Meta VR Glasses will be launched on the market, but the technological giant said that the arrival is expected at the time of spring. If you're interested, you'd better join the $1,299.99 that Meta will ask for these new virtual reality glasses.
