Meta has officially revealed its next-generation mixed reality device, the VR Glasses, a lightweight 100g headset priced at $1,300 for a Spring 2027 launch. Formerly known as Project Phoenix, the device features a 5K micro-OLED display and connects via an optical cable to a 300g external compute puck powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Reality Elite chip. The system supports hand and eye tracking, wireless multi-screen desktop streaming, and full compatibility with the Quest 3 software library. While the hardware is the primary focus, Meta also highlighted its Muse AI assistant, which has become the top app in the US, and new camera-less audio smart glasses.
