Meta and Apple are fierce rivals, and on Wednesday, the Facebook creator upped the ante by announcing new lightweight virtual reality glasses that make Apple’s Vision Pro headset look like bulky old tech.
Key facts
- The new VR glasses are a clear shot at Apple and its Vision Pro headset, which has failed to take off as a consumer device in part because of its large frame, its weight, and its cost (around $3,700)
- The Muse AI agent, and the app it is hosted on, have risen quickly in popularity, hitting No. 1 on Apple’s U.S. App Store in recent days
- Mark Zuckerberg showed off Meta’s new glasses, named Meta VR Glasses, at the company’s annual Connect event in Menlo Park, Calif
- The glasses weigh 100 grams, the CEO said, making them light enough to compare to a regular pair of glasses
Summary
Mark Zuckerberg showed off Meta’s new glasses, named Meta VR Glasses, at the company’s annual Connect event in Menlo Park, Calif. “We made the decision to focus a little bit less on metaverse for now; build fewer VR devices and only release them when we have real breakthroughs,” Zuckerberg said Wednesday. To show off the glasses, Zuckerberg played a video of creators such as YouTuber Casey Neistat and NBA start Draymond Green reacting to the device. The new VR glasses are a clear shot at Apple and its Vision Pro headset, which has failed to take off as a consumer device in part because of its large frame, its weight, and its cost (around $3,700).
