Meta's Next-Gen VR Headset Visuals Surface in Quest Firmware

Clear visuals of Meta's upcoming headset (Project Phoenix) have been discovered in Horizon OS/Quest firmware, showing a slim, nose-pad design with sensors on the sides and undersides of the temples and a tethered compute puck. A separate visual reveals how prescription lens inserts attach via a QR code, suggesting a premium, open-periphery headset and hinting at a broader reveal around Horizon Connect 2026.
