Meta Announces New VR Glasses with IMAX Compatibility and Advanced Features
Meta has unveiled its latest virtual reality product, the Meta VR Glasses, at Connect. The glasses are significantly lighter than previous models like the Quest 3 and feature a more wearable design made of magnesium alloy. Powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Reality Elite processor and a portable computing puck that acts as both battery and controller, these glasses offer portability for on-the-go use. The VR Glasses include micro-OLED panels providing a high-resolution display with Dolby Vision support and Dolby Atmos audio. A key highlight is their compatibility with IMAX Enhanced content, allowing users to experience expanded aspect ratios in films. Meta also announced partnerships with Disney+, enabling 3D streaming of select Marvel movies starting November. The glasses integrate AI features like voice commands for controlling media playback and gesture-based interactions. They are set to launch next spring at a price point of $1299.99, targeting both entertainment and immersive experiences.
