Meta VR Glasses Hands-on: What Apple Vision Pro Probably Should Have Been
22 days ago by MyOpinion to c/virtualreality
Meta has finally unveiled its next-gen mixed reality headset, Meta VR Glasses. While they could technically fit somewhere in its Quest lineup, Meta seems to be making a concerted effort to bridge the gap between its experimental augmented reality projects, like Orion, and its much bulkier Quest gaming platform.
Previously known as ‘Project Phoenix’, Meta VR Glasses are a compute puck-tethered device which are going on sale sometime in Spring 2027, priced at $1,300. You can check out the full specs and launch details here.
I got a hands-on preview of VR Glasses at Meta’s big annual Connect developer conference, giving me a chance to get to grips with the new gaze and hand gesture-based UI, get an early feel for ergonomics, and experience the most pixel-dense display Meta has ever sold.
When can we jailbreak it?

$1,300 for a toy that you can't use well for the currently only real usecase of VR aka gaming 🤦
Meta is really trying to burn even more money.
Outside of some rather niche industrial and training applications I see no usecase for AR that anyone would want to pay that amount of money for.
