Project
Meta's line of standalone virtual reality headsets, formerly Oculus Quest, running a library of VR games and apps on mobile hardware.
The glasses Meta ships in Spring 2027 weigh about 100 grams because compute and battery moved to a tethered puck rated for up to three hours of high-resolution playback. Every launch partner Meta named sells video or live sport.
Reality
Meta's new mixed reality device puts the computer in a pocket puck and the input in a pinch of thumb and forefinger. Everything in the Quest catalogue still runs, and the rest of the porting work falls to developers.
Reality
Gizmodo wore Snap's Specs at the launch event and looked at dozens of other wearers, finding chunky glasses that were noticeably heavy in a short session and mostly left ears alone.
Reality
Polyarc has wound down after nearly 12 years, having put the Moss games on five headset platforms and one flat-screen version. Engadget points to Meta's retreat from VR as the bigger problem behind it.
Reality
The default entry point, the input model and the discovery path all changed at once. The developer-facing question is what now has to be re-tested.
Reality
A continuation filing describes cameras that name people and index what they did. It is unexamined and unshipped, which is precisely when the regulatory cost is cheapest to estimate.
